Savinelli Mega; Rich brown carved, Extraordinaire size, 6mm
54-SavMega

Punto Oro The “classic” pipe that made the name “Savinelli” famous all over the world thanks to the high quality briar and to the ultimate care in production. The Gold Dot is the stamp of excellence. The history of the Churchwarden pipe style is traced to the late eighteenth or early nineteenth century. Some churchwarden pipes can be as long as 16 inches (40 cm). The bowl is out of the direct line of vision of a book or TV. In German the style is referred to as "Lesepfeife" or "reading pipe". In addition, smoke is well away from your face. More important the length of the stem gives the smoke plenty of time to cool. The 901 shape from Savinelli has an oval bowl with rounded rim, very comfortable in the hand. And just look at the grain, plenty of hard briar wood with just enough softer wood to form a beautiful pattern. Flame Grain, flaring almost straight up the bowl from BirdsEye at the base of the bowl and under the shank. Around the front of the bowl, the the grain hugs the shape finishing in a misty BirdsEye on the side. The colour too emphasizes the lovely grain pattern. Just what you need for a relaxed smoke with your book, or watching TV. This pipe was personally selected from the Savinelli factory, Barasso Italy
