Savinelli Giubileo d’Oro 125 Smooth Pot Estate Briar Pipe, Unsmoked

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.

Savinelli’s Guibileo d’Oro (English: “golden jubilee”) pipes are the pinnacle of its output as far as traditional shapes are concerned. For any given year, just 0.1% of the already high-quality briar blocks that Savinelli acquires will be of the standard required for its Guibileo d’Oro grade pipes. For comparison, 1.2% of these blocks will qualify for Savinelli’s other traditional high-grade line, the Punto Oro. In other words, the Guibileo d’Oro is more than 10 times as uncommon as the Punto Oro within Savinelli’s output. In fact, each Giubileo d’Oro pipe used to come with its own certificate of authenticity, as can be seen with this rare example of an unsmoked, complete set. This shape 125 Giubileo is certainly a beautiful pipe and, as an extra cherry on top, the shape itself isn’t even on Savinelli’s contemporary shape chart, having been all but retired years ago. Judging by the style of the box this one comes with, it looks to be a good few decades old, which makes sense.

This pipe is completely unsmoked, with an original bowl coating. It comes with its original box, tailored, draw-string sleeve, and the aforementioned certificate of authenticity.
