Rossi by Savinelli Sera Rusticated Canadian Briar Pipe, 6mm, New

Description

If you’re familiar with Rossi pipes, you’ll probably know them as a brand owned by Savinelli, typically offering affordable versions of Savinelli lines. The history of the Rossi brand, however, is one almost as long as Savinelli’s, and indeed the two were competitors for a long time. Rossi was formally established in 1886 (just ten years after Savinelli) and was a major pipe manufacturer until closing in 1985, after which it was absorbed by Savinelli.

If you’re familiar with Savinelli pipes, you may recognize this pipe as being the same shape as the 804 in the Savinelli catalog. This is indeed that same shape, but in this case it’s been used for the Rossi “Sera” series, hence the minor change in shape code. As for the design, the word, “sera,” is Italian for “evening,” with the Sera series serving as a kind of “dress” pipe that is also found in traditional English, such as Dunhill. As such, these pipes feature a dark brown stain and a slight silvery trim, with their design completed by a stem cut from jet black Lucite.

As with many Savinelli-made pipes, this Rossi is chambered for 6mm filters as standard, such as Savinelli’s own balsa filters, but will smoke just as well without one.
