Savinelli: Roma (110) (6mm) Tobacco Pipe

Savinelli's "110" saddle-stemmed Billiard is a trim take on the shape-chart standard and is noticeably more influenced by the English pipe making tradition compared to the Italian marque's more robust, bowl-centric designs. The "110" is quite similar in execution to Savinelli's "114 KS" but is slightly smaller in regards to its overall proportions and a touch lighter weight-wise. Such shaping cues allow the "110" to be a practical, versatile pipe that showcases the Italian marque's ability to render the Billiard in a variety of ways while always managing to maintain a classic, timeless appearance.

It's only fitting that one of Italy's most historic and esteemed pipe manufacturers would devote a line to one of the country's most celebrated cities: Rome. From Antiquity and empire to Renaissance and cultural center, the Italian capital tells the story of millennia through its architecture, statues, piazzas, and fountains. Savinelli's Roma series pays tribute to this history, presenting a dark rustication, accented with a trim, brass ring at the base of the vulcanite stem. The lighter-stained, smooth-polished rim echoes that elegant contrast, and the mouthpiece trades the Italian marque's usual coat of arms logo for one emblazoned with an "R," distinguishing the Rome-inspired line.
