Rossi: Mezzanotte (8670) (6mm) Tobacco Pipe
Product Number: 002-577-18284
A firm-heeled bent Billiard, Rossi's "8670" presents a bold profile that's handsomely classic, in line with Savinelli's "670 KS" design. Traditionally inclined and exceptionally well-balanced, the stout bowl houses a capacious chamber while the stem's bend allows for a comfortable, hands-free smoking posture. Not as muscular as the marque's "8616" or as diminutive as the "8601," the "8670" instead strikes an ideal balance between the two, offering a respectably robust interpretation that's also capable of being clenched with ease.
Introduced in 2023, Rossi's Mezzanotte line is a no-nonsense series that prioritizes timeless traditionalism and a conservative presentation that draws focus to this pipe's line and form. Marked by a dark stain and rugged rustication, the Mezzanotte series appropriately translates to "Midnight" in Italian and offers just the right amount of texture in hand. It remains balanced between traditional Italian and English pipe making styles — the rustication calling to mind the dramatic, extra-craggy finishes often seen throughout Italian pipe making, but the lighter depth hewing closer to the stately English aesthetic — with the dark palette and grooved surface hiding any handling marks this piece might pick up over the years.
