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. 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. This pipe had almost invisible “3” which unfortunately wasn’t rescued. So we offer today an affordable creature of the great Italian artisans.

The pipe markings are “SAVINELLI \ AUTOGRAPH”. The length is 14.4 cm (5.67″), bowl’s height is 5.8 cm (2.28″). External diameter of the bowl is 4.3 cm (1.69″), internal diameter is 2.0 cm (0.79″). The depth is 4.1 cm (1.61″) and this pipe weights 76 gr. Briar, acrylic stem, no filter. ?The chamber has been protected with a break-in coat. The stem is newly made of the fresh piece of acryle so we can consider the pipe as a “partially unsmoked” :-).

Denmark, 1960-70s An amazing large, heavy and still unsmoked pipe made by Danish genius Preben Holm in 1960-70s. You still may see the artisan’s original bowl coat in the chamber. The condition is practically ideal, we may remark only slight discoloration of the logo on the stem.

Italy This is solid, bright, and stylish Italian work — no different from many other popular Savinelli series. The only reason this line is called Silver is the small silver-colored metal collar on the shank. We don’t question the professionalism of the Lombard marketers; clearly, there’s a group of buyers for whom the word silver…

Denmark, 1960s A creature of young Preben Holm carved in the late 1960s, when his pipes were stamped with with the “Preben Holm” name and such grade numbers in a circle. At that time the artisan was not elder than 24 years and the era of fantastic success of his Danish Ben Wade pipes had…

England, 1950-70s A fantastic creature of the Alfred era Sasieni! Despite the extreme popularity of the rusticated Sasieni pipes this freehand convinces undoubtedly that Sasieni was equally great in smooth finishes and among classical shapes they were absolutely successfull and “natural” in free forms.
