The Savinelli Pipes- Alligator Green (673KS) has a mixed finish of deep rusticated grooves and smooth-polished panels, resulting in a texture and aesthetic much like that of an alligator’s hide.
The 673 is a handsome bent Bulldog. “KS” refers to king size.
It’s also one of Savinelli’s most colorful presentations, and this deep brown is reminiscent of rich Italian leather, but in a fine briar pipe.
The Savinelli story started in 1876 when Achille Savinelli Sr. opened one of the first stores in the world exclusively selling smoking articles, in the very center of Milan at via Orefici 2, near the famous Piazza Duomo. The small shop, which is still at its original location, soon became a meeting place where passionate smokers could exchange opinions and discuss experiences.
It was there that Achille Sr. began designing pipes, which he would then have made by artisans in the Varese district, just north of Milan. Contemporarily to the opening of the shop in via Orefici, Savinelli Sr.’s brother and sister moved to Genoa to open their own pipe store in Galleria Mazzini, which obtained its own faithful clientele and further established the Savinelli name.
Savinelli is now run by Achille’s great-grandson, Giancarlo, who focuses on modernizing the company while honoring the family tradition.
