Savinelli: Cocktail (101) (6mm) Tobacco Pipe

Savinelli's "101" Billiard is a muscular take on the shape chart standard — undeniably Italian in its execution, evidenced by the robust bowl and firm heel underneath. Such shaping cues call to mind the marque's "141 KS" Billiard, only here, the bowl of the "101" has a much stouter appearance due to the shank being considerably thicker, continuing the hearty precedent set by the bowl. This piece is also one of the shortest Billiards offered by the Italian firm, making it a substantial pipe that houses a good bit of chamber, while still being easily manageable and relatively compact.

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.
