Savinelli Autograph: Autograph Freestyle Panel Partially Sandblasted Long Shank Bent Billiard (6mm) Tobacco Pipe

Within Savinelli's Autograph series, the Freestyle presents pieces that are even more creatively designed, with this bent Billiard presenting a lively take on the shape. With its hearty, slightly upturned bowl with a dual finish, it's designed to show off the skill of Savinelli's carvers, as well as the features of the select-quality blocks used for the series. And it does both of those things splendidly — the smooth, lightly stained front panel of the bowl offering feathery flame grain, while the sandblasted half produces some pleasing texture and handsome growth rings. The shape itself shows precise lines and careful attention to detail, as seen through the long, slightly rising shank that then turns downward at the bit of the abbreviated stem.
