Savinelli Autograph: Autograph Smooth Bent Freehand (8) (6mm) Tobacco Pipe

Savinelli's Autograph line offers pipes that are handcrafted from select briar by a single one of the Italian marque's most experienced artisans. The carvers are given complete creative freedom, and their resulting work is always unique, as evidenced by this muscular, Fan-shaped Freehand. Rugged plateau stretches across the top of the stummel, which splays upwards from a pronounced, drooping heel. A blue acrylic stem arcs from the aft side of the stummel and strikes a comfortable smoking posture. A warm smooth finish commends the briar and highlights tight strands of flame grain that rise in concert with the shape's skyward expansion. Like many of Savinelli's pipes, this piece can accommodate a 6mm filter.
