Roche Briar

Experts at Smokingpipes.com suggest that Roche Briar is one of the many sub-brands produced by Savinelli, pointing to the similarity of shapes and the instantly recognizable rustication style. We also had the impression that today’s Roche piece and the pre-1970 Savinelli Capri Root Briar from our own archives are very close relatives, so the assumption is most likely correct. The condition of this pipe is excellent, and we can safely recommend it.

Italy A pipe from an intriguing Savinelli series whose name sounds distinctly English, and whose finish appears deliberately rough and simple. But it’s not all as straightforward as it seems. A few years ago, a Savinelli Sherwood Rock Briar went up for auction online — reportedly one personally smoked by Elvis Presley, which he supposedly…
