Savinelli, the worlds No.1 selling pipe Ferrari have given the Italians a reasonable edge in the world of motoring but that’s not all they strive at. Since 1876 Savinelli have kept the Italians at the pinnacle of the pipe manufacturing game! Putting the Italian legacy behind us for a minute if you where to look at the Savinelli range you could be forgiven for thinking they are a classic high end British made pipe. We have received a number of comments over the years from our high end pipe customers who believe the quality of the briar and the finish of Savinelli pipes exceed what is strongly regarded as the epitome of the pipe world and they don’t demand the same price tag (No names mentioned as we are British through and through)
Savinelli Sistina Briar Pipe: The Savinelli Sistina takes is name from the famous Sistine Chapel, inside the Vatican City. Built between 1475 and 1481 during Pope Sisto VI time and painted by Michelangelo between 1508 and 1512. The pipes come in a deep burgundy stain which has been given a beautiful Rusticated finish and finished with Savinelli's trademark high gloss lacquer. The pipes have an orange band sandwiched between two brass rings that contrast the black acrylic stems.
6mm 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 and replaced with the included 3mm reducer for those who prefer a totally unrestricted full on smoke.
