Savinelli: Oliva Rusticated Natural (626) (6mm) Tobacco Pipe

While Savinelli features several bent Apples on their standard shape chart, this "626" is their signature, archetypal rendition. It's also the trimmest version offered by the Italian marque, presenting a leaner disposition compared to, say, the "636 KS" and "642" shapes and leaning more into the traditional English style. Defined by a slightly bulging bowl, stretched heel and transition, and lithely bent stem, this iconic "626" is a versatile piece of moderate size and natural in-hand feel — perfect for those interested in an Italian-made pipe but one of more restrained, classic proportions.

Introduced in 2023, Savinelli's Oliva series is a fetching showcase of the Italian firm's aptitude with natural finishes and custom-cast, proprietary acrylic stems and a commemoration of Italy's olive tradition. Each pipe in the Oliva series features an unstained, virgin stummel and a striated rustication across the bowl for a bark-like texture evocative of the olive tree. Additionally, each pipe is topped by a pale, olive-green acrylic mouthpiece, which adds a touch of complementary color to the entire composition and furthers the line's distinctive theme.
