Out of Savinelli's straight Dublin renditions, the "409" and "401" share the most in common, both being a touch smaller than the "412 KS." While the dimensions of the "409" and "401" are similar in regards to length, height, and chamber depth, the "409" found here displays more traditional proportions — the stoutness of the shank more balanced and consistent in comparison to the bowl's height, while the shank of the "401" is a touch more slender to emphasize the bowl's height. Such a design makes this "409" the most classically English-styled Dublin in the Italian marque's portfolio, perfect for lovers of timeless shape chart standards who appreciate Savinelli's history of luxury and stunning finishes.
Inspired by the restrained ferocity and quiet power of a tiger, Savinelli's Tigre series showcases nine classic Savinelli shapes, all united by exotic, bengal-patterned acrylic stems — custom cast specifically for this series. The smooth, smoky stain here resembles the sly prowess of the line's namesake feline, while the vibrant hues of the mouthpiece are a limber, pouncing burst of accenting color. Eye-catching without becoming ostentatious, this piece exemplifies Savinelli's deft fusion of modern flair and timeless elegance, resulting in an attractive pipe that carries a statement of confidence.
