Roma (812) (6mm)

At first glance the Savinelli "812" appears simply to be a variant on the "802" Canadian with a relaxed, down-turned stem, but they've actually altered the stummel design as well, lending the transition a subtle bend and the heel a bolder line, to keep a balanced silhouette. Many pipe companies seem to stick with one style and simply stain it different colors and adorn it with various ferrules and whatnot to achieve different results, but Savinelli really thinks a little more deeply about pairing rustication with the other aspects of the pipe. This really shows in the Roma, with a fairly low-profile rustication matched to a minimal accent of brass trim, lending this series a simple beauty.
