Savinelli: Luisa Fiammata Sandblasted (413 KS) Tobacco Pipe

The "413 KS" from Savinelli is a large rendition of the bent Dublin. The result is a profile similar to the "404" Zulu, but larger, with more curve to the shank and stem combination, and a stronger angle at the transition. This piece is also noticeably restrained through the shank, which appears quite diminutive in contrast to the tall, flaring bowl up front — a shaping cue that fits in well to Savinelli's Italian neoclassic style. As such, the bowl conforms effortlessly to the palm, while the sinuous bend provides for comfortable clenching.

A limited-edition series released in 2023, the Luisa Fiammata line honors Savinelli's Factory Director, Luisa Bozzetti, whose legacy encompasses a 50-year tenure with the Italian marque. These pipes represent Luisa's last project before her retirement, and the collection features stummels that Luisa set aside throughout her career, reserving them for their stunning grain. These specially selected pipes — curated personally by Luisa herself — are available in either a crisp, chestnut sandblast or a smooth, auburn finish, and they span a range of the marque's shapes, some of which have since been discontinued from Savinelli's regular-production shape chart. Moreover, only 50 smooth examples were crafted for the Luisa Fiammata release, and each one is serialized.
