Savinelli: Bianca Smooth (626) (6mm) Tobacco Pipe

While Savinelli features several bent Apples on their standard shape chart, this "626" is their signature, archetypal rendition. It's also the trimmest version offered by the Italian marque, presenting a leaner disposition compared to, say, the "636 KS" and "642" shapes and leaning more into the traditional English style. Defined by a slightly bulging bowl, stretched heel and transition, and lithely bent stem, this iconic "626" is a versatile piece of moderate size and natural in-hand feel — perfect for those interested in an Italian-made pipe but one of more restrained, classic proportions.

Many of Savinelli's series draw inspiration from an outside theme, whether from color palettes, like the Arcobaleno, or from cuisine, like the Caramella, or from Italian culture, like the Roma and Trevi. The Bianca, meaning "white" in Italian, is one of the marque's more subtly inspired lines. It's presented here in a traditional, dark walnut stain, with a trio of nickel accent rings separated by creamy white acrylic to define the series, catering to those who prefer more reserved, classic finishes.
