  Visit Savinelli Dry System

- with the beneficial Balsa for a drier smoke.

For over 120 years four generations of the Savinelli family have been creating pipes of the highest quality. Each pipe is handcrafted by dedicated artisans who love their work. The wood purchased must all be good enough for their top pipes,because it is only when the bowls have been turned, after the wood has been carefully dried and cured, that they can be sorted. Any surface flaws, and the amount of hard/soft grain, are what differentiate the gradings. It follows that whichever pipe you choose, the bowl will be hard, dry and porous, ensuring a good smoke.
All the Savinelli pipes (with the exception of the slender Bent Bob, Cross and Cross Long and the special shapes
Lollo and Roley) incorporate the 6mm balsa or the optional adapter.


Punto Oro Fumée



The Gold Dot is the stamp of quality on these magnificent pipes. From the hand-cut vulcanite mouthpiece and the
mirror-smooth inside of the bowl to the
contrasting smoky grain (often birdseye or straight grain)
they have been perfectly made to give a perfect smoke.

Champagne

The light finish allows you to appreciate the hard,
close grain of the wood, and to examine the pipe
for possible minor surface flaws…. very few!
The colour darkens with smoking, enhancing the grain,
and if kept polished the appearance
will mellow with age, like antique furniture

stamped "Savinelli product".

Capitol 6mm - Rustic & Smooth
- the honest working pipe

CAPITOL RUSTIC

The same quality as their smooth counterpart, with a machined rough finish which won't show scratches, or minor cuts and abrasions.

CAPITOL SMOOTH

  This budget-priced pipe is made specially for us.
The bowls may have surface flaws, made less conspicuous
by the deep matt finish. But remember that all grades of Savinelli bowls receive the same curing treatment
ensuring that they give a good smoke.

Is this your first pipe?
Choose from the range of regular shapes.
Too large (ie. Kingsize) and you will be finished before the pipeful is.

Adding to your collection?
Well, what is missing?
Something bigger, smaller, bent, straight
- they are all here.

WATCHPOINT
A most important word of warning about filter pipes:
Filter pipes must be smoked with either the filter or an adapter (usually supplied with the pipe).

Smoking without the filter (or adapter), even once, will allow moisture to condense in the empty space and seep into the shank, causing it to swell. This will result in a cracked shank, or a loose mouthpiece which is very difficult to remedy. If this happens to you, take it in to your nearest Wesley’s for an opinion.
The Tenon/Peg is tougher than the wood!
Keep it clean so it won’t stick. Wipe and pencil it occasionally so it slides easily.
