Savinelli, the worlds No.1 selling pipe Ferrari have given the Italians a reasonable edge in the world of motoring but that’s not all they strive at. Since 1876 Savinelli have kept the Italians at the pinnacle of the pipe manufacturing game! Putting the Italian legacy behind us for a minute if you where to look at the Savinelli range you could be forgiven for thinking they are a classic high end British made pipe. We have received a number of comments over the years from our high end pipe customers who believe the quality of the briar and the finish of Savinelli pipes exceed what is strongly regarded as the epitome of the pipe world and they don’t demand the same price tag (No names mentioned as we are British through and through)

Savinelli Dante 700th Anniversary Briar Pipe: Father of the Italian language, political theorist and philosopher, Dante Alighieri was born in 1265 and died in September 1321 at the age of 56 in Ravenna, where he lived in exile. In addition to the Divine Comedy, which is considered one of the greatest masterpieces of world literature and was written in "vulgar" Italian language to be comprehensible to everyone, he wrote other works such as the Convivio, De Monarchia and De Vulgari Eloquentia. To celebrate the anniversary of his death of 700 years ago, Savinelli have produced 700 individually numbered pipes. Each made from the finest briar in a half-bent Brandy shaping which has been sandblasted and given a rich dark brown stain. Then it is finished with a black acrylic stem embellished with a silver Dante figure at the top of the shank.

9mm Balsa wood filter Unique to Savinelli is their Balsa wood filter system. The shape does not form a seal in the bore of the pipe so allows an unrestricted full flavoured draw but the extremely porous and highly absorbent nature of the Balsa wood is very effective at removing moisture and impurities from the smoke. The filter can be removed for those who prefer a totally unrestricted full on smoke.

PLEASE NOTE: This is a generic image that we have taken from a random selection of this pipe model from our stocks. It is unlikely to be the exact pipe you will receive. Due to the nature of the raw material used and this being a handmade product there will be some slight variation in grain, colour and finish.
