Savinelli: Flambé Rusticated Brown (904 KS) Tobacco Pipe

The "920 KS" and "904 KS" shapes are Savinelli's most striking bent Dublin renditions, posing especially dynamic and angular profiles. Presented here is the "904 KS," which offers a dramatically forward-urging stance, almost Zulu-like in the stem's elegant bend and the gentle flare through the transition into the bowl. Unlike the "920 KS," this piece features a protruding, rounded heel that dips below the shank's line to hint at the Acorn shape. This is one of Savinelli's most popular and distinct shapes, expanding upon the standard English form for a memorable, eye-catching piece all around.

Italian pipe design is widely celebrated for its often dramatic reinterpretations of classic pipe shapes and its use of distinctive finishes. Among the most iconic Italian finishes are those marked by fumed rims: Dating to the 1960s and distinguished by dark, near-black upper bowls that graduate to lighter hues across the rest of the stummel, the decades-old aesthetic lends pipes a rustic, weathered look. Savinelli's limited-production and retro-inspired Flambé series celebrates this signature Italian finish through a dense rustication and a deep, red-brown stain that darkens toward the rim, solidifying the finish's Italian identity. The Flambé name denotes the stain's recognizable gradient, meaning "flamed" or "blazed" in French and referencing the culinary technique of glazing dishes with liquor and briefly setting them alight.
