This pipe was made over 40 years ago but has never been smoked. It is being sold as a second-hand pipe because, although it has never been smoked, it is part of a private collection. The British have a term for this type of pipe: Estate Unsmoked Pipes. Therefore, although it is unused, it is sold at a reduced price, which is generally 25% off. The pipe does not have its original box or pouch, but is supplied with a pouch from our shop.
NOTE: The list price of the pipe was €400.
Savinelli Autograph estate unsmoked smooth brown pipe, with a black ebonite mouthpiece, original semi-curved Dublin model. Autograph rating group 4. The pipe is NOT designed to be smoked with a 6 mm balsa filter. The pipe has a striking visual appeal thanks to its sinuous lines, which make it very elegant. It is very refined, a Savinelli classic that is always highly regarded. It is of medium to large size and stands out for its more than adequate bowl, ensuring excellent smokeability in any situation, whether out for a walk or comfortably seated in an armchair. Its distinctive feature is the tall, slender bowl, which lends it a superior class. This pipe has a very beautiful, traditional cut grain that is consistent throughout the bowl, with a fine, striking finish at the end of the bowl. The tall bowl ensures a consistently fresh and dry smoke. It is a stunning piece, perfect in both size and grain. Its incredible lightness is surprising but is a guarantee of well-seasoned, dry briar. The Autograph series are among the most prestigious Savinelli pipes and highly sought after by passionate smokers. They are crafted exclusively from extra-extra briar that has undergone a long seasoning process and are made entirely by hand. They are crafted by an expert Savinelli artisan, who defines the design according to his own inspiration, and each pipe is a unique piece. Production is limited and irregular. The pipe is second-hand but has never been smoked. Rating: 10 out of 10. The pipe does not come with its original pouch or box.
