Stanwell Amber Light Smooth 83 Bent Billiard Estate Briar Pipe, Danish Estates

Description

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.

By far one of my favorite additions to Stanwell’s catalog in the post-2009 period was the Amber line which, unfortunately is either discontinued or in the process of being phased out, as far as I was able to discern. True to its name, the pipes feature[d] a warm, blonde contrast stain, accented by a silver collar. This Amber is rendered in Stanwell’s “83” medium bent billiard which, oddly enough, is one of the company’s oldest shapes, having been in production since at least the early 1950s.

The condition is good. Slight inner rim charring and a few small, superficial scratches on the bowl.
