This pipe was manufactured over 30 years ago but has never been smoked. It is being sold as a second-hand pipe because, even though 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 original price. The pipe does not come with its original box or pouch, but it is delivered with a pouch from our shop.
NOTE: The list price of the pipe was €1,100.
Savinelli Giubileo D'Oro estate unsmoked smooth brown pipe, model 614 classic curved Oom Paul with black ebonite mouthpiece. Giubileo D'Oro Gold rating. The pipe is visually striking with its classic design, which makes it very elegant. The pipe bowl features an extraordinary English cut flame with a fabulous narrow bird's eye on both sides of the bowl, making it unique. This incredible flame has been enhanced by a large original gold cap, which also makes it valuable. The cap slightly covers the pipe's stamps, as it was probably decided to put it on after the stamps were applied, making this pipe even more special. Of course, the mouthpiece bears the Savinelli logo. The pipe has a full curve, similar to an Oom Paul, which makes it very comfortable as it never weighs on the teeth. The pipe is medium in size and stands out for its more than discreet bowl, which guarantees excellent smokeability in any situation. Its lightness, due to the long seasoning of the briar, makes it ideal for smoking both while walking and sitting comfortably in an armchair. The Giubileo D'Oro is the most prestigious and rarest Savinelli. The briar is flawless and flamed, and only a few dozen pieces are produced each year. This pipe was produced in the 1970s/1980s. These were the golden years when Savinelli was a true national treasure, admired and appreciated all over the world. The pipe is second-hand but has never been smoked. Rating 10 out of 10. The pipe does not have its original bag or box.
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.
