Savinelli: Pannocchia (601) (6mm) Tobacco Pipe

A modestly sized bent Billiard appropriate for dropping into a jacket pocket, Savinelli's "601" is a sturdy take on the pipe chart standard, with a wide heel, high-set transition, and slightly tapering bowl. While quite muscular and visually significant in its shaping, the shank of this "601" doesn't over tighten the transition, extending at a 45 degree angle, almost to the height of the rim, for a comfortable thumb rest between shank and bowl.

Meaning "cob" in Italian, Savinelli's Pannocchia series derives inspiration from the classic American corn cob pipe in both its palette and texture, paying homage to a style of pipe nearly every smoker has enjoyed at some point. A kernel-like rustication dresses the stummel which has been left unstained, allowing this pipe to gradually develop a patina with time and use. A trim green acrylic band accents the shank end before leading to the vibrant, amber-hued mouthpiece, both elements furthering the corn cob aesthetic and sure to stand out even more as the natural finish darkens.
