Punto Oro Gold Sandblasted (609) (221/300) Tobacco Pipe

Among the most compact and petite designs on Savinelli's standard shape chart, the "609" is a classic bent Billiard. It's roughly the same length as the Italian marque's "613" design, but the "609" is a touch more gentle of bend, with a tapered stem and a slightly smaller bowl. The perfect pocket-pipe for quick smoking sessions, Savinelli's "609" is an ideal travel pipe for those who prefer traditional shaping and lightweight forms.

The Punto Oro and Punto Oro Gold series begin Savinelli's highest-quality lines within its standard lineup, topped by the prestigious Giubileo d'Oro. Each Punto Oro pipe is fashioned from Mediterranean briar that's been aged for more than three years before passing ninety separate crafting and inspecting processes to ensure the strictest standards of quality — taking into consideration engineering, construction, and grain orientation. Less than two percent of all Savinelli pipes meet the Punto Oro's rigid criteria, making its pipes some of the Italian marque's most prized and collectible pieces. With a number of traditional finishes presented across the Punto Oro Gold and Punto Oro Classic lines, this particular Punto Oro Gold piece wears a traditional, dark-stained sandblast, drawing focus to the briar's natural grain pattern, brought out with subtle texture thanks to the expert finishing work of Savinelli's artisans.
