was in 1876 when the first Achille Savinelli opened a pipe shop in
Milan, Italy. By 1924 Achille's son Carlo was making pipes in the back
of his father's shop bearing the family name. After WWII, the second
Achille (grandson of the founder)decided it was time to expand the brand
beyond Italy's shores, and thus the Savinelli pipe entered into pipe
lore and history. Using only the finest grades of Sardinian and Corsican
briar which has been air cured for a minimum of 15 years, every
Savinelli pipe is made with great care and pride in the knowledge that
each pipe will eventually make someone very proud and satisfied. While
Savinelli has always respected tradition, they have also become very
progressive over the years, always displaying great attentiveness to
correct proportions and harmony resulting in a complete range of both
classical and modern shapes. The Savinelli Autograph line of pipes has
achieved a deserved reputation as one of the most desirable smokers of
all time. Whether it be the least expensive model or the highest grade
straight grain, the Savinelli stamp on a pipe is your assurance of
quality. Click on the pipe thumbnail for a larger view. |
