Savinelli: Granola Rusticated Natural (626) (6mm) Tobacco Pipe

While Savinelli features several bent Apples on their standard shape chart, this "626" is their signature, archetypal rendition. It's also the trimmest version offered by the Italian marque, presenting a leaner disposition compared to, say, the "636 KS" and "642" shapes and leaning more into the traditional English style. Defined by a slightly bulging bowl, stretched heel and transition, and lithely bent stem, this iconic "626" is a versatile piece of moderate size and natural in-hand feel — perfect for those interested in an Italian-made pipe but one of more restrained, classic proportions.

Released in 2022, Savinelli's Granola pipes reflect a virgin color palette elevated by a custom-cast acrylic stem emblematic of the line's grain-inspired theme. Dressed in a finely textured rustication, the stummel reveal a subtle texture akin to wheat and barley spikes, and the mottled stem displays complementing hues of tan, beige, cream, and mahogany in a distinctly oat-like pattern to support the overall theme. Moreover, since this pipe showcases unstained briar, the stummel will darken handsomely with a patina as it's smoked, developing further character to match the varying hues of the proprietary stem.
