Masterfully crafted in Italy, this distinguished pipe showcases Savinelli’s commitment to producing larger, more substantial smoking instruments. The deeply textured rustication not only provides an excellent tactile experience but also helps dissipate heat more effectively during your smoking session. The dark burgundy-brown finish develops a beautiful patina over time, making each pipe uniquely yours.
The generous chamber specifications, measuring 0.88 inches in diameter with a depth of 1.79 inches, accommodate a substantial tobacco load perfect for those who prefer longer, contemplative smoking sessions. The thickly-built design characteristic of the Unica line ensures durability while maintaining the elegant proportions that Italian pipes are renowned for.
The contrasting cobalt blue acrylic stem isn’t merely aesthetic—its smooth surface provides comfortable jaw grip during extended use, while the quality acrylic material resists oxidation and tooth marks better than traditional vulcanite. At 5.66 inches in total length, this pipe offers an ideal balance between portability and presence.

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes the Savinelli Unica series special?
The Unica series features exclusive shapes with larger proportions and robust Italian styling, designed for pipe smokers who appreciate substantial, hearty instruments with distinctive character.
Can I smoke this pipe without a filter?
Yes, while designed for 6mm filters, the U36 can be smoked without a filter by simply removing the filter adapter, allowing for a more direct smoking experience.
How do I maintain the rusticated finish?
Clean the rusticated surface with a soft brush to remove debris from the textured grooves, and occasionally apply a small amount of carnauba wax to maintain the finish’s luster.
What tobacco works best in a Poker-shaped pipe?
Poker shapes excel with flake tobaccos and ribbon cuts, as the wide chamber allows for easy packing and even burning throughout the bowl.
How long is the break-in period for this pipe?
Typically 10-15 bowls will develop a proper cake layer in the chamber, though Italian briars like Savinelli often require less break-in time than other pipes.
Is the cobalt blue stem replaceable?
Yes, Savinelli stems can be replaced if needed, though the original cobalt blue acrylic stem is highly durable and resistant to oxidation.
What’s the advantage of the larger chamber size?
The generous 0.88-inch chamber diameter allows for longer smoking sessions, cooler smoke due to increased surface area, and better accommodation of various tobacco cuts.
How does Italian briar compare to other pipe materials?
Italian briar is prized for its tight grain patterns, excellent heat resistance, and ability to deliver pure tobacco flavor without imparting unwanted tastes to the smoke.
