Savinelli: Monsieur Smooth (645 KS) (6mm) Tobacco Pipe

Savinelli's "645 KS" is a wide, stout take on the bent Brandy, the bowl prioritizing breadth over height, yet still boasting a respectably deep chamber within. The bowl wears its waistline low before subtly tapering up toward the rim, while the transition offers ample room for the thumb to rest. Unlike the Italian marque's "628" bent Brandy, the "645 KS" is a low-slung take on the classic shape with the bowl more Apple-esque in its curvature, and it displays a greater degree of bend compared to the "144 KS." It's an ideal choice for pipesmokers who prefer robust, substantial designs that also remain balanced and lightweight enough to be clenched comfortably in the jaw.

Similar to the Tortuga series, Savinelli's Monsieur line offers pipes with an included chamber cap, making them especially handy for saving a partial smoke while on the go — keeping the remaining tobacco from drying out and preventing ash from filling your pocket. However, unlike the vivid pattern of the Tortuga series, the Monsieur opts for a more reserved presentation, the stummel here treated to a vivid, smooth, honey-blonde stain and handsomely accented by two trim, bright metal rings along the base of the jet-black acrylic mouthpiece.

Note: While this specific Savinelli pipe has been photographed individually like our other pipes, the third picture used to showcase the Monsieur's chamber cap has not, and the pipe representing its use may or may not be the one offered in this listing.
