Savinelli Pipes – Punto Oro Series. Of all the series produced by Savinelli, the shapes within the legendary Savinelli Punto Oro (Gold Dot) line are the most traditional, each boasting a time honored form which could serve as a template for their turn-of-the-century brethren. The Punto Oro is created from the finest aged Mediterranean briar, and boasts ninety separate crafting and inspection processes performed by some of Savinelli’s most skilled artisans. Tastefully accented with a brass dot, the Punto Oro is available in a number of excellent finishes, with a 3mm airway for the Classic line. This pipe came to me in a lot of pipes and had been well-kept. The Bordeaux shape (and other brands would be a bulldog) is an interesting contour. If you are looking for a classic good smoker, this could be your pipe. That condition is very good. This is a cool pipe, I think you’ll dig it. Estate pipes are soul touching, a very personal object that has brought someone else hours of pleasure & relaxation. Now this one can be yours to experience its pleasure and after you it could bring someone else comfort. Any imperfections you may find are reminders of the prior owners. I strive to release the best product possible and sometimes I choose to leave as much original as sensible to retain maximum value. Sometimes that choice to leave an imperfection is purposeful as to not wipe away other aspects of the pipes original look. The past is in these pipes and now this pipe is part of your story.
