SAVINELLI Champagne 804KS
Italy
While one of the most popular W.O. Larsen series was named “Cognac”, Italian manufacturer preferred another drink, much more expressive and much more southern – champagne! The “champagne” pipes were successfully produced since 1980’s and they remind the legendary sparkling wine by the specific color of stain.
The pipe markings are “champagne” “804 KS \ ITALY”, “SAVINELLI \ PRODUCT”. The length is 16.5 cm (6.5″), bowl’s height is 5.0 cm (1.97″). External diameter of the bowl is 3.7 cm (1.47″), internal diameter is 2.0 cm (0.79″). The depth is 4.3 cm (1.69″) and this pipe weights 38 gr. Briar, vulcanite stem, no filter. The chamber has been protected with a break-in coat. The bowl had a few chips carefully patched during the restoration.
I have 2 of these. Both bought brand new.They are the best pipe made. Use a 6mm charcoal filter and you will never get tongue bite. Nice large bowl for longer smokes. Beautiful wood grain.
