Savinelli Roma Lucite 673 KS
The "673" is an interesting take on the Rhodesian, with a nearly spherical bowl and a stem featuring a rounded-triangular cross section. Savinelli presents their pipes handsomely in the Roma Lucite line, featuring a dark, low-profile rustication, smooth-polished rims, simple, slender brass accents, and silky caramel-amber hued translucent stems.
Pipe Nook Notes
Fans of Matches860 on YouTube fondly recognize this pipe as "The Friday Savinelli." I considered John a friend, and a member of my "virtual pipe club" on YouTube, until his passing on 1/28/20. He was also the biggest advocate for The Pipe Nook. I thought it was endearing and funny when John named The Pipe Nook as the "Official Friday Savinelli Vendor" in his videos. But now, I see it as an honor. If you knew John, you loved him. You will be missed, John Harden.
***This is standard Roma Lucite 673, not the Matches860 Tribute pipe from 2020, which is sold out.***
