Savinelli: Punto Oro Gold Sandblasted (806) (6mm) 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.

The Punto Oro and Punto Oro Gold series begin Savinelli's highest-quality lines within its standard lineup, topped by the prestigious Giubileo d'Oro. Each Punto Oro pipe is fashioned from Mediterranean briar that's been aged for more than three years before passing ninety separate crafting and inspecting processes to ensure the strictest standards of quality — taking into consideration engineering, construction, and grain orientation. Less than two percent of all Savinelli pipes meet the Punto Oro's rigid criteria, making its pipes some of the Italian marque's most prized and collectible pieces. With a number of traditional finishes presented across the Punto Oro Gold and Punto Oro Classic lines, this particular Punto Oro Gold piece wears a traditional, dark-stained sandblast, drawing focus to the briar's natural grain pattern, brought out with subtle texture thanks to the expert finishing work of Savinelli's artisans.
