Savinelli: Oscar Rusticated Brown (602) (6mm) Tobacco Pipe

Trimmer and more lithe than is usual in typically robust Italian pipe design, Savinelli's "602" is a bent Billiard with more of a Danish flair, especially noticeable in the sweeping curves of the silhouette and slight taper of the bowl toward the rim. The proportions between bowl and shank, though, return us to bowl-centric Italian territory, contributing to a bold, sporty, and active character, as appropriate in a sports car as in an armchair.

The Oscar lineup has long been one of Savinelli's most popular offerings, with its use of vibrant acrylic stems across the Lucite and Tiger versions presenting a striking, eye-catching aesthetic. Debuted in 2020, the Oscar Rusticated iteration adds yet another option for Oscar pipes and sees the Italian marque present a more reserved, staid palette for those drawn to less extroverted motifs. Here in the Oscar Rusticated, this piece's warm rustication delights the palm while being tastefully accented by contrasting metal rings separated by a classy beige accent. It's a luxurious addition with classic appeal and undeniable style.
