Savinelli: Oscar Rusticated Brown (645 KS) (6mm) Tobacco Pipe

Savinelli's "645 KS" is a wide, stout take on the bent Brandy, the bowl prioritizing breadth over height, yet still boasting a respectably deep chamber within. The bowl wears its waistline low before subtly tapering up toward the rim, while the transition offers ample room for the thumb to rest. Unlike the Italian marque's "628" bent Brandy, the "645 KS" is a low-slung take on the classic shape with the bowl more Apple-esque in its curvature, and it displays a greater degree of bend compared to the "144 KS." It's an ideal choice for pipe smokers who prefer robust, substantial designs that also remain balanced and lightweight enough to be clenched comfortably in the jaw.

The Oscar lineup has long been one of Savinelli's most popular offerings, with its use of vibrant acrylic stems across the Lucite and Tiger versions presenting a striking, eye-catching aesthetic. Debuted in 2020, the Oscar Rusticated iteration adds yet another option for Oscar pipes and sees the Italian marque present a more reserved, staid palette for those drawn to less extroverted motifs. Here in the Oscar Rusticated, this piece's warm rustication delights the palm while being tastefully accented by contrasting metal rings separated by a classy beige accent. It's a luxurious addition with classic appeal and undeniable style.
