Savinelli: Balanzone Rusticated Black (320 KS) (6mm) Tobacco Pipe

Savinelli's "320 KS" is a thoroughly Italian take on the classic Author shape, pairing a plump, well-rounded bowl to an equally robust shank-and-stem combination. It's a properly full-bodied rendition, featuring soft, supple curves throughout its hearty proportions and bold, masculine lines. The "320 KS" is, in essence, a more substantial, muscular take on the Italian marque's other Author design, the "321." Reassuringly stout in hand, and housing an impressively broad chamber, it's the perfect pipe to sit back and relax with — the epitome of a comfort pipe and considered a defining, signature shape among Savinelli's portfolio.

Savinelli's Balanzone series celebrates the Italian Carnival and the masked characters associated with the festivities. Balanzone is a Doctor of Law and a caricature of a Bolognese lawyer. The character traditionally wears a black jacket and coat, a Bolognese hat, a white collar and cuffs, and a black toga. To mimic the appearance of Balanzone's dress, Savinelli has fitted their distinctive Author shape, the "320 KS", to a white acrylic mouthpiece accented with a wavy black band. Additionally, the line's "320 KS" is offered in either a natural smooth finish or a jet-black rustication.
