Savinelli Hercules 320 EX Rusticated Author Estate Briar Pipe, Italian 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 over 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 Hercules line is made for those who enjoy the Italian mainstay’s classic shapes, but wish they were just a little bit larger. In other words, it is comprised of slightly upsized versions of the shapes featured in Savinelli’s other lines, with a size difference comparable to, say, the average GBD and a GBD Conquest. An even more plump take on the iconic 320 KS author shape, this Hercules 320 EX is dressed in a brick-red rusticated finish and paired with a jet-black ebonite mouthpiece.

The condition is very good. Minor inner rim darkening and slight finish fading.
