Great Find Today. Savinelli Pisa 804 Ks

[brassmonkey]

It's been a bit of a mission to find some decent pipes around here but after visiting at least 20 vintage stores and markets I scored a couple of good ones today. I didn't think my chances of finding a quality italian pipe were very good but here it is...

A Savinelli Pisa 804 ks. Only slightly used and in near perfect condition, I'm very happy with it.
I paid $60-NZ, Approx $43-US.
Length: 160mm - 6 5/16 inch

weight: 43gms - 1.52 oz

Bowl dia: 20mm - 3/4 inch

Nice!

Nice score! Now if you can only afford to fill it with tobacco in New Zealand...

Quite so, Ive ordered a 50gm tin of Peterson Old Dublin that should arrive tomorrow, it cost $90 + post, and the online store is based in the same city I live in though I cannot collect it in person. Tobbaconists are a thing of the distant past here.

Unbelievable, I'll never bitch again on what I pay...

Good looking pipe

 

[dottiewarden]

My, my! That is one fine looking Italian version of the Canadian. Light my fire!

brassmonkey what a lucky find you have there! I think the grain on this Savinelli is spectacular.

That's a nice looking light stain, nice pick up!

I like the oval shank. Very nice!

That is a very nice looking pipe and a heck of a buy I'd say. I too will never complain about prices we pay here in the states. Enjoy.

Nice pipe!

I think of Canadian as the stateliest shape pipe, and that is a spectacular example. I don't associate the Canadian shape with Savinelli, but they have clearly exceeded themselves with this one. For $43 USD I think you have done extra well. I have a similar Canadian by Benton sold as an Iwan Ries house pipe, excellent Algerian briar, but a few fills, not quite as spiffy as yours, but a good smoker, and years old now. I also have a Johs and a Stanwell Canadian. Always appreciate the reserve and class in this shape.

You had me at Savinelli and man that is a beautiful pipe. I know she is going to smoke like a dream. Pipe dreams that is.

Love canadian shape and Savinelli 803 & 804 represent so well this classic shape, I have the smaller chambered 803 Tre, I image I may look forward to finding one of their more high end pipe of this very shape in the future as well.

 

[mikethompson]

That hardly looks smoked too

 

[lawmax3]

Beautiful pipe.

I choked when you mentioned the price of a tin tobacco there. :|

I like the lighter colors. That is a beaut!
