Savinelli: Saint Nicholas 2024 (315 KS) (6mm) Tobacco Pipe

Savinelli's interpretation of the Prince, the "315 KS" provides all the plump, in-hand comfort of the shape, with more emphasis placed on the heel than classic English versions. The heel extends forward for a broader base and lower center of gravity, while the moderately sized shank leads to a willowy, tapered stem, and the vertically compressed bowl presents a lower profile in silhouette. It maintains a staunch profile, making for a bolder rendition compared to traditional Anglo-French interpretations.

Among Savinelli's most collectible series, the Saint Nicholas line has remained a highly anticipated annual release since its debut in 2013, ushering in the holiday season with a distinctly festive color palette. Furthermore, the series often showcases Savinelli's reputation for singular, high-quality acrylic, and this Saint Nicholas 2024 pipe is no exception. Evoking the holiday season's coziness and warmth, this piece is dressed in a smoldering, burgundy-hued rustication and fitted to a custom-cast acrylic stem — the mouthpiece's shimmering yellow complexion complemented by twin brass accents that frame a band of red acrylic.
