Savinelli: Alligator Elegance Red (626E) 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.

Savinelli's limited-edition Elegance series offers a selection of trimmer, more compact versions of the brand's classic shapes. Designed with a light, balanced build, these pipes are perfect for those who enjoy a convenient and portable smoking experience, whether on the go or while clenching hands-free. The Elegance line is indicated by the addition of an "E" in the pipe's shape code.

Featuring a mix of smooth-polished panels and deep, rusticated channels, Savinelli's Alligator series presents a finish that readily evokes the scaly, bumpy hide of its namesake texturally and visually. The stummel's vibrant stain further accentuates its eye catching appeal while the trim brass band provides some subtle, refined contrast to the bowl's rugged disposition.
