Savinelli: Punto Oro Natural & Sandblasted (673 KS) (2 Pipe Set) (31/50) Tobacco Pipe

The "673 KS" shape is Savinelli's take on the iconic bent Bulldog design. While the overall profile remains true to the traditional English shape-chart standard — marked by a paneled shank and tapered rim — the Italian marque has imbued it with their own stylized aesthetic. Most notably, the shank is triangular instead of diamond in cross section, a signature Savinelli shaping cue, and the bowl features some added plumpness about the base before tapering slightly toward the rim above the waist. It makes for a distinctly recognizable Savinelli pipe, replete with a substantial voluptuousness in hand, while still maintaining a strong degree of classic appeal.

Pipes from Savinellis's Punto Oro and Punto Oro Gold series are among the Italian marque's highest-quality regular-production pieces, second only to pipes from their vaunted Giubileo d'Oro line. Punto Oro pipes represent less than two percent of Savinelli's production, as each one is required to pass no fewer than 90 quality inspection tests to guarantee excellent grain, shaping, and internal engineering. Available in a variety of finishes, it can be difficult to choose the right Punto Oro pipe when so many showcase incredible grain in their own way. This limited-edition boxed set is Savinelli's response to that conundrum, ensuring that smokers don't have to choose between dressings, presenting two matching shapes in two distinct finishes: a light, natural stain, and a crisp, earthy sandblast. Serialized out of 50 examples, these pipes are fitted to acrylic stems with a range of expressive palettes, making them truly unique examples of Savinelli's expert craftsmanship.
