It's your fault. There is wizardry here, and in a trance of overpowering compulsion I found myself glassy eyed and quivering with need for another pipe. "Savinelli," the demon within me whispered, "you have no Savinelli." I felt my will collapse within me. I whimpered. A howl of anguish and desire broke from my lips. "I must have a Savinelli!" I shouted to the empty room. There was no one to help me, to restrain me in my craven weakness. The vile wizardry was strong. I tried to deflect it by looking at tobacco. Numbers lost their meaning. Hell is the impossibility of reason. I was enslaved to a force I could not defeat. I yielded and a peaceful calm enveloped me. "Yes," I murmured. "I shall." A joy indescribable in its sweetness held me in thrawl. It was right to obey, to embrace in love the inhabitant of my will. "This," I said pointing. "This one here. This pipe. This Savinelli. This glorious, wonderful thing. It was put here for me and is fit for no other." The demon smiled. "No one but you," it said. "Beware of thieves," it said. "Now," it said. "Thieves," it said again. And then it became mine.

My 904 alligator has smoked like a dream for years. Your demon did you a big favor.

That's a great finish on the pipe. I like that depth and width in the bowl in a pipe that weighs only 1.49 ounces. Great clencher. You may like balsa filters, but if you prefer no filter, you can leave it out, and if you want a tighter draw, you can use an adapter. I think I have six or seven Savs, including the churchwarden in the avatar. They'll never let you down.

No filter on this one, MSO. I don't mind the filter issue with Cobs, but think I'll avoid them in Briars.

Incidentally, the Savinelli Capris are on sale at smokingpipes.

Gorgeous Capri. I love this style of rustication. I'm happy to hear they are making these again. The story goes that Savinelli discontinued the Capri because the rustication process was so laborious and time consuming.
Congrats and enjoy.

I read an even more romantic telling where the one guy that knew how to do the capri finish died and they simply stopped making pipes like that. Yours sounds more accurate though Dave. It's a beautiful finish regardless, and a beautiful shape Max.

I got this Roma last year sometime early on in my journey. I just liked how it looked and I got it for less than 50 bucks, so I was happy. I didn't know if it (and really still don't) had origins in the Savanelli factory.

The pipe arrived today. It's smaller than I expected but a good size. The rustication looks exactly like that on my Radice Billiard. I love it. This is a light pipe and easy to clench, and I'm not a clencher. This could make me an occasional one. I'm really liking bent pipes. This is only my second, excluding the two Cob Legends I've got. This Savinelli looks like a more expensive pipe than it cost me ($92.50 - less than any Peterson). I'm very happy I got this and hope to get more Savinelli Capris. This is a beautiful pipe.

My first Savinelli arrived a few days ago, and had my first bowl this morning. Good to the last drop. (Though I don't literally smoke that far down)
A bent billiard, brown rusticated finish. Wish I had gotten the ebony finish!
