Savinelli: Minerva Rusticated Brown (601) (6mm) Tobacco Pipe

A modestly sized bent Billiard appropriate for dropping into a jacket pocket, Savinelli's "601" is a sturdy take on the pipe chart standard, with a wide heel, high-set transition, and slightly tapering bowl. While quite muscular and visually significant in its shaping, the shank of this "601" doesn't over tighten the transition, extending at a 45 degree angle, almost to the height of the rim, for a comfortable thumb rest between shank and bowl.

Named in honor of the Roman goddess of wisdom and Law and the protector of artists and artisans, Savinelli's Minerva series comprises six different shapes in both smooth and rusticated finishes, all unified by their uniquely expressive stems. These stems are crafted from a deep, rich, brown acrylic, but one that features significant purple undertones, making for a look that changes as the light hits it and continually draws the eye. Further pulling one's focus to the stem are the staggered, silver-toned accents at the stem base, with a larger diameter band near the shank and a thinner one on top. Offered here is the rusticated finish, offering plenty of texture for the fingers to appreciate, it's deep brown color nicely complementing the stem.
