Savinelli: Punto Oro Sandblasted (705) (Legacy Stock) Tobacco Pipe

Essentially a larger version of the "704" Liverpool, Savinelli's "705" is a bold take on the shape chart standard, the relative proportions well maintained but increased in length, height, and chamber depth. Plus, the heel of the "705" is a touch firmer than that of the "704," lending the bowl more visual prominence. It's the perfect pipe for those drawn to the more traditional side of Savinelli's shaping spectrum.

Savinelli's Punto Oro and Giubileo d'Oro series comprise the upper echelons of the Italian marque's regular-production lineup. For decades, they've delighted pipe smokers with striking finishes and superlative grain, and this particular Punto Oro example celebrates Savinelli's historical renown: It's part of a selection of old-stock examples procured from the factory in early 2022 but fashioned sometime between 1975 and 2005 — a rare array that we've distinguished as "Legacy Stock." Though all Legacy Stock pipes are part of the Punto Oro and Giubileo d'Oro series and are offered in either smooth or sandblasted finishes, they vary depending on their production era, with stain colors differing slightly and revealing the evolution of Savinelli's production over the years. This pipe is a chance to own a piece of Savinelli history, limited in supply and with only a few renditions of each shape available.
