Savinelli Autograph: Autograph Smooth Cavalier (4) (6mm) Tobacco Pipe

The Cavalier isn't a shape that's often produced, but when it is, it most likely come from an Italian marque. That's the case with this particular rendition, which comes from Savinelli's Autograph line, a series of pipes that are handmade from start to finish and don't have to adhere to the Italian marque's standardized shape chart. This Cavalier possesses the form's iconic foot, but it lacks a removable moisture cap. Nevertheless, the foot enables the composition to sit stably on a flat surface, while the shank and stem reach high above the round, full-bodied bowl and strike a comfortable smoking posture. A glossy, auburn-hued smooth finish dresses the stummel and accentuates fine strands of flame grain that wrap around the flanks of the bowl.
