Savinelli: Oceano Smooth (616 KS) (6mm) Tobacco Pipe

One of the most full-bodied examples of Savinelli's approach to the bent Billiard, the "616 KS" dramatizes the standard form with especially robust proportions. It features a hearty bowl and generous chamber with an equally plump shank and stem. It's noticeably more muscular and deep-chambered compared to the marque's other bent Billiards like the "606 KS," "670 KS," "602," and "603" designs. The "616 KS" offers plenty of reinforcing briar at its chamber walls, transition, and shank, filling the palm with ease and exemplifying what it means to be considered an iconic Italian bent Billiard.

While the warm, chestnut stain of Savinelli's Oceano series remains quite classic and traditional, the line's stem clearly hints at its inspiration. Fashioned from custom-made acrylic, the mouthpiece displays a swirling pattern of vivid sapphire and cream hues, resembling the foaming crests of ocean waves. The base, then, is marked by a steady ring of white, demarcating the vibrant colors of the stem from the stummel's darker shade.
