Savinelli: Giubileo d'Oro Petite Natural (402) Tobacco Pipe

The Savinelli "402" is a small Belge shape — rendered most often in Savinelli's Petite size designation — and its proportions have remained consistently petite and lightweight over the years. Its sinuous and lithe attitude complements the dramatic forward cant of the bowl, and the undercurve of heel and bowl present a steady curvature that travels up the far side of the bowl for the impression of a single, adroit line. Based on the design of clay pipes from earlier eras, the "402" offers a traditional smoking experience but with more practical, pocket-friendly portability.

The highest tier within Savinelli's standard lineup, the Giubileo d'Oro series presents the Italian marque's superlative pieces. Meaning "Golden Jubilee" in Italian, the Giubileo d'Oro series denotes Savinelli pipes par excellence, and the strict standards determining Giubileo d'Oro pieces mean that only 0.1% of Savinelli's total production is found worthy of the line's iconic three brass dot stem logo. As such, these pipes showcase choice grain patterns and exquisite finishes — from concisely defined sandblasts to gorgeously arrayed flame grain and birdseye. This particular example wears the line's smooth, Natural stain, highlighting the briar's natural grain in a traditional and vivid palette.
