Savinelli: Monsieur Smooth (628) (6mm) Tobacco Pipe

Savinelli's "628" bent Brandy displays a tall, conservatively tapered bowl at the end of a smooth, slightly elongated and curling transition. The shape features an excellent balance of supple curves and elegant line work throughout, with the bowl tapering more subtly toward the rim and posing a leaner profile than the Italian marque's other bent Brandy designs, namely the "644 KS" and "645 KS." Comparatively, the "628" prioritizes height over plumpness, catering more toward traditional English renditions, and houses a deeper chamber inside the more slender, poised bowl.

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.
