Savinelli Miele Smooth Bulldog (6mm) (Unsmoked Estate)

About this pipe:

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.

Though it is difficult to pick, I think if I had to choose my favorite of Savinelli’s modern designs, the Miele would be in the top three at the very least. And that would be for either finish; the rusticated was a warm, woodsy brown hue, while the smooth, as seen here, was an almost virgin blonde. Both paired beautifully with their amber-like stems and three, alternating acrylic accents at its base. This one is an example of the smooth variant, taking the form of a beautifully grained, classic bulldog rendition.

This pipe is completely unsmoked and comes with its original box and sleeve. This pipe is chambered to allow for the use of 6mm filters, such as Savinelli’s own balsa filters, if desired, but will also perform perfectly well without one.
