Savinelli Alligator Green Pipes

It's a beautiful piece, that has everything one would want and expect from a quality pipe, from it's smooth draw to elegant design. It's simply spectacular. I could not be happier with my purchase.

Smokes well for new pipe. Good feel. Green is unusual.

Unfortunately the green came off of most of the pipe but it smokes great!

Excellent pipe.

My husband loves this pipe..great hand feel..smokes beautifully..doesn't get any better!

Looks like the green color wasn't as popular as the brown. Understandably so. It is however a standout visually and a handsome briar somewhat iridescent in sunlight . The only thing I observed in the negative is that the rim of the bowl is carved consistent with the rest of the bowl and complicates cleaning a bit. Otherwise I believe a story of it once having been a 'gator's toe is in the offing for grandchildren.

Great pipe, well made, as expected from this company.

This pipe is quite striking to look at, and it smokes cool and stays lit. This is my first Savinelli and I am very impressed with the balsa filter system. It removes a considerable amount of moisture without impacting the draw.

Without a doubt, this series of pipes are eye popping. I purchased the 677KS and once in my hand, it was hard to put down. The craftsmanship is absolutely stunning, and while I understand the alligator concept—I find it more of a cobble-stone look. The stem is beautiful and aesthetically pleasing. My only wish is it had more of the green streaks within. I did some research and couldn't find anything pertaining to a break-in period. Now I'm fond of laromatic tobaccos, and this pipe didn't disappoint. The pipe has a smooth and easy draw. While the briar does get warm, it doesn't get hot like other pipes. Cleaning is easy and like all pipes, please let it cool before taking apart the stem. It does have a 6mm triangular balsa insert (which is a natural absorbent filter) which should be replaced after every 3rd or 4th smoke. If you don't like the filter, you can remove it and use the other insert provided as a filter free smoke. Savinelli made an exceptionally great pipe.
