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 and a subject of worship!

The Autograph pipes are graded (ascending) from 3,4… and till 8, 0, 00, 000. Thus our pipe is of a quite high grade. The only remark we can admit: despite the “quasipoker” shape it doesn’t want to sit reliably on a table. Or you have to load it with a lot of the most heavy tobacco? 🙂

The pipe markings are “SAVINELLI \ AUTOGRAPH”, “6 \ ITALY”. The length is 15.4 cm (6.06″), bowl’s height is 6.2 cm (2.44″). External diameter of the bowl is 4.3 cm (1.69″), internal diameter is 2.2 cm (0.87″). The depth is 4.5 cm (1.77″) and this pipe weights 71 gr. Briar, vulcanite stem, no filter.

Italy 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….

England, 1960-70s A really unique high grade Charatan’s pipe! The De Luxe grade was actually one of the family-era series and it wasn’t stamped onto Lane era Charatan’s pipes. The Distinction grade belongs already to the Lane period, more specificly – “the second Lane era” (1965-76) in this case, the stamping “MADE BY HAND” proofs…

Denmark Nobody knows where his investigations can bring. We looked recently for an information about a rare Danish manufactory and came across the description of the American patent No. US3750677 (1971). There is described a basically new (at least according to inventor’s believe) construction of a smoking pipe: it has to be made as a…
