Savinelli Baronet Bruyere 111 EX Rusticated Billiard Estate Briar Pipe, Unsmoked

It is probably fair to say that Savinelli is Italy’s most famous pipe brand. Founded in Milan in 1876 by Achille Savinelli, the brand has continuously offered high quality pipes for nearly 150 years. Though various Savinelli lines have come and gone over the years, the brand has always been notable for putting out classically styled pipes with a distinctly Italian twist. The Baronet Bruyere is a Savinelli line that has been discontinued for what must be at least a decade now, though while it was in production, it was distinguished by two things; an understated aesthetic and an oversized stature. Each pipe was dressed in a very Italian, stony black rusticated finish and fitted with a similarly black, unfiltered vulcanite mouthpiece, and the range of shapes available for such pipes came from Savinelli’s “EX” series. Larger in proportions than Savinelli’s “KS” series, EX shapes like the “111 EX” billiard seen here are essentially classic Savinelli designs but scaled up—not to the extent of a magnum pipe, but still with a generous chamber and a good amount of heft. This pipe is completely unsmoked, with an original bowl coating.   Details: Length: 6.6″ / 167.6mm Bowl Width: 0.96 / 24.38mm Bowl Depth: 1.95″ / 49.53mm Weight: 2.3oz / 68g
