Savinelli Autograph Smooth Natural Pipe, 3mm non-filter 54-SavAutoSmC

Savinelli Autograph Group 6
The Plateau cut from the briar burl is the secret behind this pipe.
It is the outer part of the briar block where you find the most beautiful texture and grains.
Naturally the blocks are expensive, and they are not all perfect.
The master carver follows the grain as much as possible making creative choices when he has to deal with natural defects within the wood.
And what a stunning result.
A pleasure to look at, a pleasure to hold and a pleasure to smoke
This pipe was personally selected from the Savinelli factory, Barasso Italy

Savinelli Autograph
Completely handmade, unique and unrepeatable – bearing the signature of Achille Savinelli. These exclusive pipes, which all Collectors covet, are carved by only a few skilled workers from the finest briar blocks personally selected by Giancarlo Savinelli, great grandson of the Founder, who currently heads the company.
From the Savinelli website:
This rare, unique and irreplaceable pipe, is shaped from the raw material following the grain and the “fiammatura” (“flame”), which Mother Nature has put at our disposal, according to the artistic mood of our master craftsmen. The wood is natural and the shape is unique for each piece. The name “Autograph” was created from the handwritten signature of Achille Savinelli Senior printed on the mouthpiece.
These pipes are created according to the characteristics of the raw material: the briar, and as a consequence their shapes are affected by the necessity and the creativeness. Practically they are all unique.

Are they worth the extra price?
The demand for Prestige Pipes is testimony to the fact that they are appreciated for their smoking quality, beauty of the grain and their rarity. They are always in short supply – testing the integrity of the manufacturer, but a top quality manufacturer will not lower his standards.
