This elegant estate piece is a spectacular example of traditional Italian pipemaking: a Savinelli in the highly regarded shape 4006. As one of Savinelli's classic, long-standing shapes, the 4006 is a masterclass in proportion, showcasing the Milanese factory's ability to blend classic European archetypes with a touch of distinct Italian flair.
The pipe is carved into a handsome, exceptionally balanced straight Dublin profile. It features a tall, gently flaring bowl with thick, insulating walls that taper elegantly down toward a sturdy, rounded heel. The straight, robust shank extends cleanly from the stummel, transitioning smoothly into a tapering black mouthpiece that offers a comfortable, lightweight feel when clenched.
The precise physical measurements for this Italian classic are:
Overall Length: 5.75 inches
Chamber Width: 0.75 inches
Chamber Depth: 1.75 inches
With a highly versatile 0.75-inch chamber width and an extra-generous 1.75-inch depth, this pipe is an absolute powerhouse for long, slow-burning smoking sessions. The conical nature of the Dublin chamber naturally compresses the tobacco as it burns downward, concentrating the flavors and allowing the natural sweetness of straight Virginias, complex broken flakes, or layered Virginia-Perique blends to intensify beautifully toward the bottom of the bowl. Fully cleaned, sanitized, and reconditioned to a pristine luster, this reliable Savinelli is ready to bring excellent mechanics and timeless sophistication to your regular rotation.
