Savinelli 2000 smooth dark brown pipe with black methacrylate mouthpiece, original straight fancy bulldog model. The pipe is designed to be smoked with a 6 mm balsa filter. The upper part of the bowl is hexagonal, giving it a style all its own. The pipe is very elegant with briar inlay on the mouthpiece, making it very refined; a reworking that never tires. The grain is irregular but present. It is medium in size and stands out for its capable bowl, which guarantees excellent smokeability in any situation. Its lightness, due to the long seasoning of the briar, makes it ideal for smoking while walking or sitting comfortably in an armchair. The 2000 series was created to celebrate the new century. It featured a model that had never been made before and will never be repeated. Available in various finishes and colours, it was produced with the best briar available, extra extra, for good smoking after a short break-in period. It was a limited edition created for a few enthusiasts who loved the brand. A remarkable pipe with an extra twenty years of seasoning.
Achille Savinelli opened his shop in Milan in 1876. With quality products and courteous service, the shop was an immediate success. In 1920, his son Carlo introduced Savinelli-branded pipes, which he had manufactured in the Varese area. In 1948, the Savinelli pipe factory was founded in Barasso, where it still resides today. The brand quickly became prestigious throughout the world and, in the 1950s and 1960s, around a thousand pipes were produced every day. The designs were inspired by classic English models, with the introduction of some variations that would become 'typical' Savinelli models. Alongside these pipes, Savinelli produced the Autograph, which were also made entirely by hand with an imaginative design that was still recognisable as the brand. A characteristic feature of Savinelli pipes is the balsa system, a balsa wood filter that absorbs moisture from the smoke and makes it more pleasant. The system works but is little used by smokers. Savinelli has been producing pipes for over 140 years and, although snubbed by some 'expert' smokers, it still creates real gems that deserve attention and respect.
The pipe for sale is exactly as pictured in the photos. Once sold, as it is handmade and therefore unique, the pipe will be removed from the website. The actual colour of the pipe may vary slightly from the photo as each monitor has its own colour tone. The dimensions have been measured accurately but may vary by a millimetre, either way.
