Savinelli: Punto Oro Gold Sandblasted (806) (6mm) (Legacy Stock) Tobacco Pipe

Savinelli's "806" is a traditional take on the classic Lumberman, similar to the Italian marque's "803 KS"" and "803 EX" designs in terms of shaping, but the "806" features significantly smaller proportions throughout. The Billiard bowl is classically shaped and transitions to a slightly elongated, oval shank and an abbreviated saddle stem, both elements accentuating the bowl's visual prominence in profile. The "806" is an ideal choice for those drawn to the traditional Lumberman but prefer a more conveniently-sized and versatile rendition.

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 earlier this year and 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.
