I just picked up this almost new Savinelli Roley. After cleaning it out and loading it up with some McCelland's 5100 Red Cake I fired it up. I thought it would be good for a quick little smoke, and boy was I wrong. It took about 90 min to finish the bowl.
This is a nice little pipe that can fit in the palm of my hand. It is very light and easy to clench. I can actually rest the pipe on my chin. I was worried that the bowl would get hot during the smoke, but it stayed nice and cool. It fits easily into my pocket. The draft hole doesn't go all the way to the bottom of the chamber, so I'll have to use some pipe mud to fix that.
Packing was a little tricky, and lighting it was a little bit of a challenge due to the odd shaped chamber. I had a few relights, but I'm still breaking the pipe in. I think it was probably smoked two or three times by its previous owner. I didn't have any gurgle during my smoke. Overall, I'm impressed with this little pipe. I think it would make a perfect lunting companion.
