The OLD Dry Systems
Pipes that were uncovered in a general clean-up. Wesley's were offered them at very good prices.
They have cleaned up so well difficult to remember them as wesley's first saw them.
These are high grade pipes, possibly too high a grade to be part of the current ranges of Dry System pipes.
They are Savinelli Premier quality, with briar more than 20 years older than the current pipes, stamped Savinelli Dry System.
Smooth finish, or intricate brown rustic following the grain.
All landed to sell at Standard prices more than 25% lower than Premier prices.
We have drawn the last of these pipes from Savinelli, after this there will be no more
DRY SYSTEM
Launched in 1981, it had taken several years of research into the negative points of existing system pipes, in order to improve on them. Perseverance paid off by combining trap and filter, and enlarging the smoke hole, Savinelli achieved the Dry System, which in our opinion is the best answer to Wet Smoking so far developed.
The name Dry comes from the introduction of the Balsa filter into the traditional system pipe the System being the presence of the built-in moisture trap in the shank, linked with the smokehole on the top mouthpiece. The balsa mops up the moisture in the smoke hence the term Dry system, and if the pipe is smoked without the balsa all that will happen is that this moisture will condense and collect in the trap. It can then either be mopped up with a folded pipecleaner, or flicked out.
Just be careful where you flick it!
Put this all together and you can see why we say these are technically our best designed pipes. But the technical qualities are not all these pipes have to offer. Extra bonuses are the feel, the finishes and the balance.
Especially for new pipesmokers, the Savinelli Dry System pipe incorporates everything needed to provide a cool, dry smoke.
