Savinelli: Cocktail (129) (6mm) Tobacco Pipe

Well on the shorter side of Savinelli's size spectrum, the "129" is a charmingly compact Billiard. What truly sets it apart from some of the Italian marque's other Billiard shapes is the use of a triangular shank — a signature Savinelli design element. It provides a striking juxtaposition when paired to a tall, poised Billiard bowl, like the one seen here. While it's fairly petite in regards to overall size, there's still plenty of muscularity throughout the proportions of this "129," with the firm, yet rounded lines of the shank providing some subtle sturdiness in hand.

Savinelli takes great pride in their sandblasted finishes, making sure to only use stummels that will blast well and with definition. Because of this select-quality, most of the Italian marque's sandblasted pieces appear primarily in higher-tiered series, such as the Punto Oro and Giubileo d'Oro lines. The Cocktail, however, offers beautifully blasted grain at a price point more comparable to Savinelli's standard fare — pairing a glossy, ebony sandblast with vivid mouthpieces of either dandelion yellow, amber red, or horn-patterned acrylic. The traditional finish highlights the Italian marque's classic roots, while the bright accenting colors of the stems add a playful, modern touch — serving a tasteful mélange of styles all in one composition.
