Just picked this one up. Classic shape, nice and easy to clinch and a good sized chamber.

That's a beaut! Savinelli consistently knocks it out of the park IMHO. Enjoy!
Thank you! I agree. This model in particular is becoming a favorite of mine.
The 616 is described as one of the largest pipes Savanelli offers, and it also comes in a jumbo 616 EX size.
This is a slightly used Savenelli sub brand Baronet 616 EX I won on eBay.
We are living in a golden age of pipe smoking, until the do gooders catch up to us.

I'm a big fan of the 616, don't have one yet but the shape is pleasant and sometimes they can be pretty big.
You should get one soon. I only smoke when I know I have time so big bowls are definitely what I like.

I love it's chunky heft.

Thanks.
I love it. Definitely one of my larger pipes
Feels nice in hand but too heavy to clench for more than a few minutes
You're welcome. Might have to hunt one of these down. Agreed on the weight but it's not too bad.
Bro, you really are my pipe brother. I just bought a 616 too (a used Punto Oro). Unfortunately I dropped it before even getting a chance to smoke it and the tenon broke and the brass dot fell off.
Also, you must have a strong jaw as I found it too long for its weight to clench comfortably.

Which line is this from? I silver banded 616 is exactly what I've been looking for.
That... would make sense. It looks like it's a retired series that I'll have to keep an eye out for on eBay.
You may well be right.
I bought it as an estate.
I only have 2 Savinellis and really don't know much about the brand.
I find Savs and Stanwells with their multitude of lines extremely confusing especially when it comes to their heirachy.
They seem to retire, and introduce new lines constantly.
I don't see many Stanwell sellers in the US anymore but I agree with Savinellis and also Petersons (I think the companies are related). It seems like some of the lines are popular but most of them seem kitschy to me.
We should start a petition for them to start making a line where the pipes are cased and have silver bands.
