Savinelli: Morellina Smooth Brown (636 KS) (6mm) Tobacco Pipe

A slightly larger, more robust sibling to Savinelli's "626," the Italian marque's "636 KS" bent Apple features some additional mass lent to its shank and lower bowl. As a result, the proportions fall in line with classic interpretations, presenting an affably plump in-hand presence while the stem's quarter bend ensures a well-balanced clench. The "636 KS" isn't as overtly hearty as Savinelli's "642" or as trim as the "626," instead striking an ideal middle ground between the two designs and offering the best of both worlds.

The title of Savinelli's Morellina series hints at its color palette: a deep walnut brown indicative of the line's characteristic stem. This smooth example reveals an alluring, dusky motif, and features a custom-cast acrylic stem of swirling cream and mocha hues. Such a stem emulates the look of traditional cumberland but with lighter tones and a more fluid pattern, adding intrigue and character to the overall theme. It's further accented by a trim nickel ring, completing the distinctive aesthetic but with an overall subdued demeanor — perfect for those inclined toward more traditional motifs but who still desire a pipe of individual style.
