Savinelli's "320 KS" is a thoroughly Italian take on the classic Author shape, pairing a plump, well-rounded bowl to an equally robust shank-and-stem combination. It's a properly full-bodied rendition, featuring soft, supple curves throughout its hearty proportions and bold, masculine lines. The "320 KS" is, in essence, a more substantial, muscular take on the Italian marque's other Author design, the "321." Reassuringly stout in hand, and housing an impressively broad chamber, it's the perfect pipe to sit back and relax with — the epitome of a comfort pipe and considered a defining, signature shape among Savinelli's portfolio.
Introduced in 2023, Savinelli's Paloma series is named after the Italian word for "dove" and is characterized by two finishes offered across six shapes. The smooth offerings are dressed in a rich chestnut stain, highlighting fine grain while contrasting elegantly with the Paloma's multicolored stem of custom-cast, high-quality acrylic, while the rusticated options are stained a deep black hue, with a wealth of crisp texture around the stummel. The cream, caramel, and mahogany tones of the stem offer an elegant complement to the stummel — here dressed in the Paloma's rusticated finish.
