Savinelli: Sasso Rusticated (616 KS) (6mm) Tobacco Pipe

One of the most full-bodied examples of Savinelli's approach to the bent Billiard, the "616 KS" dramatizes the standard form with especially robust proportions. It features a hearty bowl and generous chamber with an equally plump shank and stem. It's noticeably more muscular and deep-chambered compared to the marque's other bent Billiards like the "606 KS," "670 KS," "602," and "603" designs. The "616 KS" offers plenty of reinforcing briar at its chamber walls, transition, and shank, filling the palm with ease and exemplifying what it means to be considered an iconic Italian bent Billiard.

Italian for "stone", the Sasso series from Savinelli pairs a number of the Italian marque's signature shapes to stems of marble-hued acrylic, bringing to mind classic sculptures of today and yesteryear. A light blue accent wraps the base of said stem, adding color contrast to the overall piece. The Sasso series pipes are offered in a smooth or rusticated finish, with the latter presented here, providing ample texture to explore.
