Savinelli: ***Tundra Rusticated (316 EX) (6mm) Tobacco Pipe

The primary feature of a Pot is its broad tobacco chamber, and the Savinelli "316 EX" certainly fulfills that purpose, boasting even larger dimensions than its KS-sized variant. Particularly wide at the top, the chamber is conical, aligning with the shaping of the bowl, while the lithe shank-and-stem combination adds tasteful elegance through its curve. It's a remarkably organic interpretation, offering a sweeping heel and softly rounded rim, and all with a subtle forward momentum to keep things lively.

Inspired by the foliage-sparse geography typical of harshly cold, arctic climates, the Tundra series from Savinelli presents a consistent color palette of varying auburn and chocolate hues. In this rusticated rendition, the dark stain of the stummel is flecked with lighter shades at the texture's peaks, matching the smooth-polished rim and blending perfectly with the variegated, caramel hues of the acrylic stem.
