Italy

This pipe appears to be another example from Savinelli’s Hand Made line—a sort of secondary branch of the Savinelli Autograph series. At least all the usual signs are here: the marking style matches other Savinelli Hand Made pipes, the briar boasts a rich, attractive grain, the shape flows naturally, and the blend of smooth finish with sandblasting is convincingly executed.
