You don't often see a pipe that makes people smile before they've even picked it up, but this one manages it.

Savinelli called the range Miele, the Italian word for honey, and they've had a bit of fun with it. The stem has the look of runny honey, the warm golden briar catches the light beautifully, and they even include a little wooden honey dipper. No, it isn't for stirring your tea. You'll spend the first five minutes explaining that to visitors.

The classic 207 Apple shape sits comfortably in the hand, with a generous rounded bowl and a long, elegant shank that gives the pipe lovely balance. The smooth finish lets the natural grain do the talking, while the warm colour gives it that fresh-from-the-workbench appearance.

It's cheerful, well made and unmistakably Italian. The sort of pipe that reminds you this hobby doesn't always have to take itself so seriously.
