In 2021, Venice celebrated the 1600th anniversary of its founding, which dates back to March 25, 421. To mark this occasion, Savinelli, in collaboration with the Academy of the Pipe of Venice, created a special series of 421 commemorative pipes. Each pipe in this limited edition is adorned with a blue acrylic band, reminiscent of the waves of the Venetian lagoon. Additionally, it features an elegant silver gondola ferrule applied to the briar, an iconic symbol of the Serenissima known worldwide. These pipes are designed for enthusiasts and collectors, with each one numbered and original.
The Dragon symbolizes strength, good health, harmony, and fortune in China. To celebrate the Chinese New Year and the beginning of the Year of the Dragon, Savinelli has dedicated a limited edition series to the only mythological creature in the Chinese zodiac. The pipe is a semi-bent Prince shape, available in just 98 pieces, with a natural smooth finish and a red and black craquelure stem inspired by the colours of traditional Chinese Dragon depictions. The Dragon's head is also represented on the specially designed silver band (weighing about 26 grams), making this pipe truly one of a kind.
The name "Giubileo Oro" evokes the meaning of "jubilee," highlighting the rarity of these exceptional pipes. Only 0.1% of the global selection is deemed worthy of this exclusive series. Characterised by perfect raw materials and extraordinary grain, these pipes represent a true gem—a precious rarity gifted by nature. The selection process is passed down orally, based on Savinelli's experience and high-quality standards, ensuring seriousness and elegance.
The PUNTO ORO pipe was the first model created by Achille Savinelli following the factory's opening in 1958. This pipe has always represented the Savinelli brand, embodying elegance, reliability, and tradition. It is a top-quality pipe with a beautiful grain. It’s worth noting that finding a suitable briar piece for the PUNTO ORO is quite challenging; only 1.2% of the entire selection is chosen for this series, meaning not all shapes are always available. It features a black acrylic stem with a classic gold dot. The Model 111 KS is well-known for its cylindrical bowl and shank, providing a spacious burning chamber that accommodates any type of pipe smoker.
Nature never ceases to amaze us. How the briar from a heath shrub can gift us extraordinary grain patterns is a mystery. By working with thousands of blocks and creating well-defined models, the chances of finding these diamonds of nature, with their rare purity, are slim. With the Birdseye series, Savinelli aims to encompass all the pipes with distinctive partridge-eye grain.
We have created a unique selection of models and finishes for the most passionate smokers who understand the importance of letting a pipe rest between uses. Each pipe is adorned with a handcrafted sterling silver band engraved with the day of the week. This exemplary collection offers a pipe for each day, allowing collectors and smokers to enjoy a unique and personalised piece for every day of the week.
Produced in the 1960s, this series stands out for its emphasis on the flame grain of the pipe, in line with other era collections such as Fiammetta and Erica Fiamma. The Straight Grain was offered in three variations, based on the level of flame grain: gold, silver, and white. Here, we present a model from the gold variant, resulting from a rigorous and meticulous selection of the grain. Each piece, unique and highly valuable, is intended for true connoisseurs.
The pipes of the Mister A series, designed by Achille Savinelli Junior, aim to combine the influence of modern Nordic pipemakers with the classic forms of Savinelli tradition. These pipes are of excellent quality, featuring flawless briar that sets them apart from the classic Autograph series through their distinctive aesthetic character.
The unique model of this celebratory series is available in four finishes: two smooth (natural and Bordeaux) and two rustics (black and brown). Each pipe is adorned with a 925 silver golf ball embedded in the shank, adding a touch of elegance and sophistication. The mouthpiece is made from methacrylate with a 6/9 mm hole, ensuring good airflow and comfort.
The pipes are packaged in a sturdy fabric case designed to hold two pipes, making them solid, robust, and very comfortable. This offers an excellent smoking experience and a valuable collectable piece.
The Autograph Free Style series is characterized by pipes with refined designs deviating from traditional shapes to offer something unique. While maintaining the same qualities as the Autograph line, these pipes feature more modern and distinctive forms. Each pipe is entirely handcrafted and made from top-quality briarwood blocks.
