Savinelli: Saint Nicholas 2024 (614) (6mm) Tobacco Pipe

Savinelli's "614" is the Italian marque's most deeply bent shape, resembling the classic Oom Paul. The shank curls upward, almost vertically, making for a compact length that hangs comfortably from the jaw, and the stretched heel and rounded Billiard bowl sit naturally in hand. Aligning more with traditional English proportions, the shank and transition are on the stouter end compared to some of Savinelli's Italian neoclassic shapes — an excellent choice for those interested in an Italian-made, hands-free smoker but desire a form of more English sensibilities.

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.
