Is it normal that the colour of my pipe is fading in time?

Each Savinelli pipe is individually coloured by hand with only natural colours, for this reason there is the possibility that after a few smokes the original colour might slightly fade. This can be caused by different circumstances: the excessive heat that the pipe is exposed to, the surrounding level of humidity and the excessive sweating coming from the smoker’s hand. If you are interested in refurbishing your pipe, please visit our section about repairs.

Which kind of hole do I need to choose: 3mm, 6mm or 9mm?

The choice of the hole is based on your way of smoking the pipe.

3mm hole it allows to smoking the pipe without any kind of filter.

6mm hole has a convertible system that you may decide to smoke with balsa or using an adaptor, without filter.

9mm hole is for whom prefer to smoke the pipe with a balsa filter.

What is the Balsa System?

The Savinelli Balsa System is a filtering system using the natural attributes of balsa wood. It allows the absorption of both moisture and impurities from smoke, without the addition of chemical elements, insuring a clean pipe shank. This absorption ability is due to the extremely porous fibres of the balsa, which allows for a perfect smoke without altering the flavour and aroma of the tobacco.

This patented filtering system has been tested both by the EURATOM Research Center of Ispra and by the CHEMICAL & ENVIRONMENTAL TECHNOLOGY Inc. Research Center (USA) with,more or less,the same results: “..the filter has the ability to absorb 77% of the nicotine and 91% of the tar contained in tobacco without altering the flavour of same”. The filter is uncomplicated and easy to use.

It is advisable to replace it every two / three smokes, or every time you clean the pipe. It is also recommended not to let the pipe sit longer than one day with a used filter inserted. With the insertion of the adaptor (included with the 6mm filters), the pipe can also be smoked perfectly well without the filter.

What precautions are necessary to avoid burning the pipe?

The first tip is to pull mouth slowly and slow down if it overheats his pipe: this is the only real solution.

The bowl of the lighted pipe is always hot and determine to what degree of temperature can get is extremely difficult, if you do not have the appropriate tools.

We solved the problem as we explain now.

When the pipe is running, you are holding in your hands every now and slowly count to six. If you succeed you can safely continue to smoke a pipe, otherwise you must stop until the pipe cools.

Long waits are not necessary: it takes typically a few seconds of interruption and in most cases not even need to turn on the pipe. however, if the pipe were to be shut down, never mind: you again. Many burns are caused by smoking because they fear that the pipe goes out and then suck up too often.

1. This is the ultimate consequence faced by an emphasis smoker systematically in the above case and turning the tobacco at the bottom of the bowl even when it is now only ashes.

2. Burning in the central area of the bowl is due when the pipe is new, aspirations too violent, usually caused by improper loading of the bowl with subsequent overheating. In this case you should slow down the pace of aspirations or better yet let the pipe cool completely.

3. This type of burning on the edge of the stove, is caused by the lighter flame held too high and too on the side.
