The Gentle Art of Smoking.
Alfred Dunhill coined the phrase, but it has been the Savinelli pipe makers who have taken this to heart, by using their skills in the art of pipe making to pay tribute to a list of great Italian artists.
We have had
the “Leonardo” collection of 8 pipes over 8 years: “La Giaconda - Mona Lisa”, “Il Cavallo -The Horse”,
“Flight - Ala Battente” “Studi sulla Luce - Study in Light”, “La Bombarda - Cannon”, “Autoritratto – Self Portrait”,
“Clavi Viola “– a form of Harpsichord and "Uomo Vitruviano" – The Man
the Venere “Birth of Venus” pipes as a tribute to Botticelli
Fuoco (Fire) – inspired by the painting “Il Fuoco” by Giuseppe Arcimboldo
Now we have the “Otello” pipes which offer you a tribute to Giuseppe Verdi who had retired after scoring “Aida” and had to be cajoled out of retirement to score the music for Otello. Even then he took several years to complete this masterpiece. Shakespeare may have penned the play Othello, but Verdi put the music to the Italian version, for us all to enjoy.
 Savinelli writes about the aim of the series:
We chose a famous and strong character for this pipe with a stem specifically drawn: a single piece, with a ring high on the shank that hovers as a swift tail toward the bit. A little silver color ring separates the stem to the pipe, giving it the importance it deserves
Finishes: smooth natural, and rusticated black.
The Otello pipes all have clean lines. Like many works of art they are not cluttered up with frivolous, distracting embellishments. They are strong, elegant Italian shapes derived from the classic English originals: Bent-Billiard, half bent Pot, Prince, Cognac and Rhodesian.
The Natural honey-brown, smooth finish pipes show the clean bowls to perfection, with plenty of hard briar.
The Black Rusticated finish shows perfectly layered rings, which bring a uniform appearance to each pipe. As usual it is the quality of the briar and workmanship that makes Savinelli pipes consistently exceptional.
We really enjoyed selecting these pipes, and at the “special” prices we were offered at one of our meetings with the Savinelli people, we couldn’t resist buying them. But at these special prices stocks were limited.

Model 321 is an Author with regular dimension, small version of model 320 KS, half-bent. Its rounded shapes and the absence of edges make the hold extremely pleasant.
Shape 121
Model 121 KS is a semi-bent Pot style pipe. One of the most classical style which comes from the well-known Billiard ones. The flattened and cylindrical bowl boasts a low burning chamber with good capacity. This model ends with an elegant saddle stem which perfectly welcomes the light bend.
Shape 614
Model 614 belongs to the classic Billiard style. As you can see, it is surely the model with the most pronounced bend. The bend is so sharp which requires different more passages during the finishing. An extraordinarily elegant model not advised to less expert smokers.
