Savinelli Dante 700th Anniversary Briar Filter Pipes
Savinelli Dante 700th Anniversary Briar Pipe:
Father of the Italian language, political theorist and philosopher, Dante Alighieri was born in 1265 and died in September 1321 at the age of 56 in Ravenna, where he lived in exile. In addition to the Divine Comedy, which is considered one of the greatest masterpieces of world literature and was written in "vulgar" Italian language to be comprehensible to everyone, he wrote other works such as the Convivio, De Monarchia and De Vulgari Eloquentia. To celebrate the anniversary of his death of 700 years ago, Savinelli have produced 700 individually numbered pipes. Each made from the finest briar in a half-bent Brandy shaping which has been sandblasted and given a rich dark brown stain. Then it is finished with a black acrylic stem embellished with a silver Dante figure at the top of the shank.
9mm Balsa wood filter
Unique to Savinelli is their Balsa wood filter system. The shape does not form a seal in the bore of the pipe so allows an unrestricted full flavoured draw but the extremely porous and highly absorbent nature of the Balsa wood is very effective at removing moisture and impurities from the smoke. The filter can be removed for those who prefer a totally unrestricted full on smoke.
PLEASE NOTE:
These are generic images that we have taken from a random selection of this pipe model from our stocks. It is unlikely to be the exact pipe you will receive. Due to the nature of the raw material used and this being a handmade product there will be some slight variation in grain, colour and finish.
