Savinelli: Cocktail (128) (6mm) Tobacco Pipe

Savinelli's "128" Billiard is one of the marque's larger interpretations of the shape chart standard, the tall bowl commanding much of the profile's visual weight — a signature approach within Italian pipe making that's also a key aspect of Savinelli's immediately recognizable style. The bowl's prominence is further accentuated through the gradual taper of the arrow straight shank-and-stem combination. The "128" is notably longer and more muscular compared to the firm's "106" and "104" Billiards, while also being slightly stouter than their trim "107" design. This is an ideal choice for fans of classic shapes but desire a pipe with a bit more substance all around.

Savinelli takes great pride in their sandblasted finishes, making sure to only use stummels that will blast well and with definition. Because of this select-quality, most of the Italian marque's sandblasted pieces appear primarily in higher-tiered series, such as the Punto Oro and Giubileo d'Oro lines. The Cocktail, however, offers beautifully blasted grain at a price point more comparable to Savinelli's standard fare — pairing a glossy, ebony sandblast with vivid mouthpieces of either dandelion yellow, amber red, or horn-patterned acrylic. The traditional finish highlights the Italian marque's classic roots, while the bright accenting colors of the stems add a playful, modern touch — serving a tasteful mélange of styles all in one composition.
