Savinelli Tortuga Rusticated 106

Classic “106” Billiard Shape

While Italian pipes are popularly known for their dramatic, bowl-centric sense of proportions, Savinelli’s “106” leans more into the classic English design. Compared to the Italian marque’s other straight Billiards, the “106” is rendered in trimmer style, with more balanced proportions between bowl and shank. It’s a wonderful rendition of the classic form, archetypically English and perfect for those interested in the history and quality of Savinelli but prefer a more conservative, reserved size.

Innovative Tortuga Design

The Tortuga series, named after the Spanish word for “tortoise,” is one of Savinelli’s most distinctive and practical lines. Each Tortuga pipe features a unique domed chamber cap that evokes the tortoise’s iconic shell. Unlike a wind cap, this chamber cap is completely solid and without vents, intended for saving an unfinished bowl for later or for preserving a recently packed bowl to ensure you’re always ready to enjoy a smoke whenever the opportunity arises. The cap displays a tortoiseshell-like pattern, matched by the stem and tastefully complementing the pipe’s chocolate rustication with a smooth, auburn rim.

Quality Materials and Craftsmanship

Like all Savinelli pipes, the Tortuga Rusticated 106 is crafted from carefully selected briar that ensures a quality smoking experience. The pipe features a tortoiseshell-patterned acrylic stem that’s not only visually striking but also provides durability and low maintenance. The 6mm filter system allows for a cooler, drier smoke, though the pipe can easily be enjoyed without a filter by using the included adapter.
