The Savinelli story started in 1876 when Achille Savinelli Sr. opened
one of the first stores in the world exclusively selling smoking
articles, in the very center of Milan at via Orefici 2, near the famous
Piazza Duomo. The small shop, which is still at its original location,
soon became a meeting place where passionate smokers could exchange
opinions and discuss experiences.
Savinelli pipes are made in Italy from only the finest grade of
Sardinian and Corsican briar.
Savinelli's Balsa Wood Filter System:
The Savinelli Balsa System is a filtering system using the natural
attributes of balsa wood. It allows the absorption of both moisture and
impurities from smoke, without the addition of chemical elements,
insuring a clean pipe shank. This absorption ability is due to the
extremely porous fibres of the balsa, which allows for a perfect smoke
without altering the flavour and aroma of the tobacco.
This patented filtering system has been tested both by the EURATOM
Research Center of Ispra and by the CHEMICAL & ENVIRONMENTAL
TECHNOLOGY Inc. Research Center (USA) with,more or less,the same
results: “..the filter has the ability to absorb 77% of the nicotine and
91% of the tar contained in tobacco without altering the flavour of
same”. The filter is uncomplicated and easy to use.
