Savinelli Autograph: Autograph Smooth Freehand Sitter (6) (6mm) Tobacco Pipe

Savinelli's Autograph line offers pipes that fall outside of the Italian firm's usual shape chart, and are handcrafted by the workshop's most experienced artisans. Those artisans are given complete creative freedom when shaping the line's pipes, resulting in charming pieces like this Freehand Sitter. A sturdy, angular composition, this piece boasts a stocky, full-bodied bowl that stands atop a flat, sure-sitting heel. Said bowl flares from its heel to its broad, concave rim, and as it expands, it takes on a forward-ebbing posture that keeps the shape looking dynamic in profile. A boxy shank brings up the pipe's rear and lends a structural rigidity to the shape's profile, while a tapered stem tops off the composition and promotes a comfortable smoking posture. Dressing this piece is a warm sooth finish that highlights healthy grain across the bowl and shank alike.
