Autograph pipes make only 2% of the Savinelli production, but since 1980s they are the subject of a special pride of the company. The pipes are made essentially by hand; briar is sourced absolutely separately from the materials for a mass market. Every bowl is firstly shaped and only then drilled by experienced carvers. As a result pipe collectors from the entire world can enjoy both the great smoking qualities and fantastic design of these pipes. It’s really a work of art!

The Autograph pipes are graded (ascending) from 3,4… and till 8, 0, 00, 000. So we offer today an affordable creature of the great Italian artisans.

The depth is 5.3 cm and this pipe weights 64 gr. Briar, acrylic stem, no filter. The pipe was very accurately smoked, the chamber has normal wear from use without any remarkable issues.
