Savinelli Apollo 11

[danimalia]

I think it is cool they have taken the time to recognize the second best day in human history. What was the first best day you ask? How about the day that Russia and the US decided not to nuke the entire planet during the Cuban missile crisis.

Coming 2062, please join Peterson and Dunhill as they commemorate the 100th anniversary of...

Jesse, I think I used to watch that show, great answer.
Those other moon pipes are very cool. They do blow away the Sav's.

 

[sablebrush52]

Jesse, you still say the darndest things. :lol:

:rofl:

The part of my brain where dark Lovecraftian terrors dwell is ever-so-slightly tickled by those Huber pipes.

Honestly, never thought Savinelli can create these kind of abominations. Heck be like Omega and create something decent which can be sold as a Limited Edition.
Cheers,

At least Peterson didn't make it.... oh wait.....they'll commemorate Apollo 13.

Jesus Christ. As if the 320 wasn’t ugly enough already. Thank goodness they are such good smokers. They make look like a fat, greasy, samsquanch dook, but they will always have a place in my flake rotation. Not that one though. When I saw that pic I threw up in my mouth a little bit.
I love savinelli in general, but I’d buy a lunar landing module shaped autograph before I’d buy that sucker.

Clearly the newest tool in the Savinelli rustication department is, a melon baller.
Blech...

With pipemakers like Askwith and Huber who needs Moon Craters like Savinelli's?

Is that secret Alaskan talk? Or did you just have a seizure?...

 

[alaskanpiper]

Samsquanch = sasquatch. (Aka bigfoot, the worldly presentation of a supreme time bending intergalactic race of beings known in their own societal circles as The Toltan). Many people here refer to them as a samsquanch as an homage to a loveable character named Bubbles from a certain spectacularly brilliant yet profoundly silly Nova Scotian TV show called “Trailer Park Boys.” Its not for everyone, it is a unique kind of humor, but it is quite popular among the 25-45 year old Alaskan proletariat.
That should clear things right up.

Man, that's one perfunctory looking moon. And what's with the stem? Is it _supposed_ to remind us of 1970s tube socks?

 

[alaskanpiper]

to remind us of 1970s 1969 tube socks?

 

[donjgiles]

So...

After looking at the Savinelli site a bit more I want to bring attention to something they are doing properly

De Luxe!!

They're 2017 St. Nicholas pipes did a good job of that.

 

[donjgiles]

So, the Savinelli De Luxe models are /were apparently oil cured... neat
Quote from Savinelli site...

The matt finishing is produced with special ventilations and use of boiled linseed oil that enlivens the flaming and leaves the pipe very natural.

I'd rather have a commemorative 50th anniversary box of TANG.
