Savinelli Punto Oro Gold pipe, sandblasted brown, with black methacrylate mouthpiece, classic curved 602 billiard model. The pipe is designed to be smoked with a 6 mm balsa filter. The pipe is very elegant and refined; a classic that never gets old. It is small/medium in size and stands out for its bowl, which is capable of excellent smokeability in any situation, whether walking or sitting comfortably in an armchair. It is a best-selling model by Savinelli in Italy and worldwide. It is very compact and comfortable to carry around all day. Savinelli has decided to enrich the Punto Oro series, a historic pipe dating back to 1958, with the Gold line. It has the same production characteristics and even higher quality than the original, with a single black methacrylate mouthpiece and a larger gold dot on the mouthpiece, applied by hand by cutting a solid brass bar. The briar is selected from among the best and the pipe has a beautiful, regular flame. It is produced in a limited number of models and availability is reduced. The rough finish is ideal for the warmer months as it heats the hand less. Excellent for walking, given its lower propensity for scratches and marks.
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 worldwide 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.
