What a waste of money! Worst pipe I've every owned!!!! AHAHAHAHAH, JUST JOKING!!!
I love this pipe sooooo much. I really like the balsa wood filters. It smokes anything nicely! Its such a relaxing hold and I just can't stop staring at it while I'm smoking it! It's great. I'm not wild about any of the Mac Barren blends cause they all seem pretty "bitey" or harsh. But with the balsa in there it almost eliminates it. Had some plumcake tonight and it wasn't bad, not really a memorable tobacco kinda bland. But my new favorite Stanwell Melange for an all day smoke is wonderful in it! I've kept my pete's in rotation with Sam Gawith skiff/twist and my nording rusticated freehand and the Sav Qandale had been my go to aromatics like nightcap, melange, frog cellar. I've smoked with both the plastic insert and the balsa, and I prefer the balsa, nothing like the medico filters. This pipe feels great in hand and is just long enough to enjoy as a CW. I was looking hard at a nording churchwarden, but holding both the nording felt better in hand, but the stem seemed so cheap, it really put me off, I might get one later. But until then I am more than satisfied with the styling and performance of the Sav.
