Tortuga Smooth (207) (6mm)

The "207" is a curiously English straight Apple for an Italian pipemaker like Savinelli featuring a squarely-proportioned bowl and straightforward stem, although the proportions between bowl and stem do lean more towards the Italian school. Each briar of the Tortuga series sports not only a tortoiseshell-patterned stem, but also a domed, shell-like cap with a foam-rubber stopper. The purpose of the latter is to preserve an unfinished smoke which one wishes to pick up again and finish later.
