Item History & Price
Reference Number: Avaluer:4486396 | Body Shape: 625KS |
Modified Item: No | Brand: Savinelli |
Country/Region of Manufacture: Italy |
The "Straight Grain" series was produced in the 1960's from briar blocks that were set aside during each year's production due to their having particularly fine grain. At the end of the year, the very best were graded and turned into these "Straight Grain" Savinellis. These are very fine pipes!
Savinelli produced the "STRAIGHT GRAIN" series in three grades (A, B, C) according the rarity and perfectio...n of the briar's grain. Other than the Giubileo D'Oro and Autograph series, no other Savinellis have the graining of the briar assigned such a grading.
This particular "STRAIGHT GRAIN" has a classic bent billiard shape in a full size (not oversize) pipe. Beautiful, classic Savinelli quality.
