Notes

Italian pipe carvers would have good reasons for being grateful to late Achille Savinelli as also thanks to his passionate work Italian pipes were and are appreciated all over the world. His taste and personal style left a long-lasting imprint on the production of his brand and such style remains evident many years after his passing. Pipe offered confirms the contents of previous lines, as its shape is absolutely perfect: very rarely have I seen an English-made Prince with such handsome proportions. Remember that the Prince is one of the quintessential British pipes. It is surprising that this pipe has was graded “Straight Grain Fiammata”, notwithstanding its blasted finish. Savinelli used this uncommon grading when the blast was exceptional, very deep and regular all around the bowl. No further words are necessary because pictures offered speak for themselves. “Giubileo d’Oro” is the higher Savinelli’s grade for classic shapes and only perfect pipes receive this prestigious allocation. Size of this pipe is like a Dunhill Group 4: it stands up and is “as new” as it was smoked very few times.
