SAVINELLI Sherwood Rock Briar 316

August 7, 2025August 7, 2025

Italy

A pipe from an intriguing Savinelli series whose name sounds distinctly English, and whose finish appears deliberately rough and simple. But it’s not all as straightforward as it seems. A few years ago, a Savinelli Sherwood Rock Briar went up for auction online — reportedly one personally smoked by Elvis Presley, which he supposedly left behind at a friend’s house in Las Vegas.

While we haven’t found any photos of Elvis with a Savinelli, numerous images show him with other pipes, and the authenticated documents accompanying the auction are quite convincing. It’s a shame the King is so often overlooked in traditional online lists of famous pipe smokers.

Pipe markings “SHERWOOD \ ROCK BRIAR”, “316 EX”, “SAVINELLI \ ITALY”, “LUCITE”
Length 15.5 cm (6.1″)
Bowl Height 4.1 cm (1.61″)

Weight 53 gr.

The pipe is not for sale. It was restored to order and has already started a new life in a new cozy home.

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….
