Savinelli Straight Grain pipe, smooth brown finish, with black ebonite mouthpiece, classic straight model 127. The pipe is not designed to be smoked with a 6 mm balsa filter. The pipe is very elegant and refined; a classic that never tires. It is 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. The pipe has a beautiful flame pattern that is highlighted by the warm brown colour. It was produced in the early 1980s and comes from a collection of pipes from that period. The Straight Grain is a pipe that is produced in limited quantities because the briar must be perfect and well flamed. The pipe is used, smoked little and well, mainly with natural tobaccos or English mixtures. Rating 9 out of 10. The pipe has neither its original bag nor 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 imaginative designs that still bore the brand's hallmark. 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 pipes we sell second-hand are only from the best and most prestigious brands and are rigorously selected by me from private collections. The pipes in question must have been well cared for and smoked, generally having been smoked little, and are sanitised before being put up for sale. In fact, once selected, they are disinfected and the interior sterilised, the mouthpiece is cleaned and the entire pipe polished, including the bowl and mouthpiece. Casaropipe guarantees that at this point they are ready to continue to give satisfaction to a new enthusiast.
The pipe for sale is exactly as shown 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 more or less.
