Savinelli: Punto Oro Gold Smooth (141 KS) (6mm) Tobacco Pipe

Savinelli's "141 KS" is a robust, thoroughly Italian take on the timeless Billiard that houses an appropriately deep chamber within its incredibly hearty, towering bowl. The stout, round shank matches the bowl's muscularity and further complements the shape's sturdy, resolute disposition before the gradually tapering mouthpiece wraps everything up with its clean, angled lines. The "141 KS" is easily one of the best examples of the marque's neoclassic approach to traditional English shapes — taking classic designs and emphasizing the bowl's prominence, resulting in a substantial pipe that fills the hand effortlessly.

The Punto Oro and Punto Oro Gold series begin Savinelli's highest-quality lines within its standard lineup, topped by the prestigious Giubileo d'Oro. Each Punto Oro pipe is fashioned from Mediterranean briar that's been aged for more than three years before passing ninety separate crafting and inspecting processes to ensure the strictest standards of quality — taking into consideration engineering, construction, and grain orientation. Less than two percent of all Savinelli pipes meet the Punto Oro's rigid criteria, making its pipes some of the Italian marque's most prized and collectible pieces. With a number of traditional finishes presented across the Punto Oro Gold and Punto Oro Classic lines, this particular Punto Oro Gold piece wears a timeless, auburn stain, drawing focus to the briar's natural grain pattern, highlighted by the expert finishing work of Savinelli's artisans.
