Savinelli: Oceano Rusticated (311 KS) (6mm) Tobacco Pipe

Savinelli's "311 KS" Poker is a resolute, yet dynamic take on the classic utilitarian shape characterized by the bowl's pronounced forward cant and succinct saddle stem displaying the lightest hint of downward turn. Its sturdy sitting capability makes it the perfect desk pipe while the crisply chamfered rim echoes the firm aesthetic of the defined transition and cylindrical bowl. It's also a slightly more compact offering compared to the Italian marque's other Poker design, the "310 KS," which displays a raised, rounded rim and a slightly longer downturned stem. While the "311 KS" is somewhat downsized, it certainly doesn't sacrifice anything in regards to chamber depth or its charming practicality.

While the dimpled, chestnut-stained rustication of Savinelli's Oceano series remains quite classic and traditional, the line's stem clearly hints at its inspiration. Fashioned from custom-made acrylic, the mouthpiece displays a swirling pattern of vivid sapphire and cream hues, resembling the foaming crests of ocean waves. The base, then, is marked by a steady ring of white, demarcating the vibrant colors of the stem from the stummel's darker shade.
