Savinelli: Oscar Smooth Brown (128) (6mm) Tobacco Pipe

Savinelli's "128" Billiard is one of the marque's larger interpretations of the shape chart standard, the tall bowl commanding much of the profile's visual weight — a signature approach within Italian pipe making that's also a key aspect of Savinelli's immediately recognizable style. The bowl's prominence is further accentuated through the gradual taper of the arrow straight shank and stem combination. The "128" is notably longer and more muscular compared to the firm's "106" and "104" Billiards, while also being slightly stouter than their trim "107" design. This is an ideal choice for fans of classic shapes but desire a pipe with a bit more substance all around.

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 2023, the Oscar Smooth 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 Smooth, this piece's dark, smoky stain highlights the briar's grain 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.
