Savinelli Capri Root Briar 804 KS Rusticated Canadian (Estate)

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.

Aside from a recent, limited edition release, the Capri is a series of Savinelli pipes that has been out of production for a good, long time. It was, however, a staple in the make’s output during the second half of the 20th century. Capitalizing on the emerging Italian trend of high-end, rusticated finishes, the Capri was Savinelli’s equivalent of a Castello Sea Rock Briar, for example, and, like the Sea Rock Briar, the Capri finish was applied to various lines (including the Golden Burl, the Bruna, and Punto Oro Corallo). This one wears the classic, deep burgundy variation of Savinelli’s Capri finish, and takes the form of a distinctly long Canadian rendition.

The condition is fair. Some rim darkening and finish fading.
