SAVINELLI Autograph 6
Italy An exquisite freehand pipe from the world best known Italian manufacturer. Autograph pipes are made absolutely separately from other lines – very carefully selected briar specially for this series, the pipes are made essentially by hand, only the best carvers are allowed to make Autograph pipes. Every such pipe becomes a work of art…
L’ANATRA Piuma

SAVINELLI Capri Root Briar 6011
Italy This large and attractive Capri Root pipe is stamped with the 4-digits shape number, so it’s the early (made before the 1970s) Savinelli creature. The Capri Root Briar is one of the most famous and recognisable series from that times – such a distinct rustication hardly can be confused for any other Savinelli line!

SER JACOPO Fatto a Mano panelled
Italy, 1980-90s One of the early Ser Jacopo pipes (from 1983 to 1997) from Giancarlo Guidi, Pesaro, Italy. The stem is inlaid with a red dot and there are no typical letter and number codes yet stamped. Therefore we would claim the pipe is rather from the 1980s.
GIGI Liberty 1411

GiGi is a nikname of Luigi “Gigi” Crugnola born in 1934 in Gavirate (a municipality in the Italian region Lombardy, located about 60 kilometres (37 mi) northwest of Milan). By a lucky coincidence the same year Rovera pipe company was founded by…
BREBBIA Ninja Noce 8311
Italy A really great Italian pipe! We don’t have perhaps to repeat a well known story how Achille Savinelli and Enea Buzzi founded the Savinelli company in 1947 and how in 1953 theirs ways have parted: while Achille (responcible for marketing) stayed with Savinelli, Enea (responcible for manufacturing) founded his own brand named in honour…
