Savinelli Roma (207)
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. 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.
