Savinelli Autograph: Autograph Smooth Bent Dublin (6) (6mm) Tobacco Pipe

Savinelli's Autograph line consists of handmade, especially creative pieces that are crafted from start to finish by the workshop's most experienced artisans. This bent Dublin reflects those talents, with whimsical shaping lent to the bowl. A firm heel beneath is dominated by a slightly overhanging, trumpet-like rim that's also sloped. A deep bend transitions into a rather muscular, curling shank and gently downturned stem, the proportions throughout this piece unusually well balanced. Dressed in the Italian workshop's warm, honey-blonde stain and showing off stellar licks of flame grain across the bowl and fetching freckles of birdseye along the rim, this is a handy design that's certainly emblematic of the Autograph line.
