Savinelli: Punto Oro Classic Bordeaux (313) Tobacco Pipe

Savinelli's "313" is a traditional Prince shape, somewhat smaller than the "315 KS," with a low, squashed-Tomato form, marked by a broad waistline and low center of gravity. The shank rises from the transition at a slight angle, balanced out by the subtle curve of the bent mouthpiece — all in accordance with the expectations of a classic Prince, but in the bold Italian style of the famous workshop.

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 piece wears a red wine-tinged Bordeaux stain, offering a traditional aesthetic sure never to go out of style.
