Early Savinelli pipe, a beauty!

[LEP7cv]

Just bought this one, read somewhere that the 4 digit code on Savinellis are pre-1965, this seems to me to be mid 50's. Look at this baby! :D

The four digit codes phased out in the 70s. The rustication on that one reminds me of their Cadet line, very sharp.

That pipe has both nice lines and rustication. It reminds me of their Hercules EX rustication but a lot less scrotumesque. I would be interested in those pipes if the rustication was like yours.

ye, I feel you, I'm not a rusticated guy... but this one appeals to me, looks great, has a modern look into it

“Scrotumesque” I have a Bones Goose egg & the first thing my wife said when she saw it was “that looks like a testicle”. Does not keep me from smoking it tho

Here's an example of the Cadet rustication on a 9005 I used to have.

It’s just hard to beat a Savinelli pipe for the price point and the ones shown here indicate the level of finish from the Italian maker.

When I only have time for one pipeful to relax and enjoy and want to make sure it’s not a struggle with the draw or cool briar, I inevitably reach for one of the Savinelli pipes in my rack. Right now my focus is on Savinell’s Miele (honey) and Eleganza lines of pipes— at about $170, you just can’t beat them.

Thanks for posting thise incredible photos of that neat vintage pipe.
