Savinelli: Giubileo d'Oro Petite Natural (626) 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. Here in this Petite rendition, the trim proportions and slender shaping of the standard "626" are taken even further, making for quite a compact pipe, while still maintaining the shape's defining characteristics: a slightly bulging bowl, stretched heel and transition, and lithely bent stem. It's a versatile piece of pocket-friendly size — perfect for those interested in an Italian-made pipe but one of more restrained, diminutive proportions.

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, and comes complete with a matching tamper.
