Sasieni 5-Dots

Perhaps I missed these in my hiatus but can anyone tell me about these Sasieni 5-Dots being sold by Judd? (There are 3 or 4 currently for sale). Thanks and sorry that I couldn't post the pics (only a URL).

Post family era pipes from the late 1980's. Myself, I would rather have a nice family era "second", or, if one wants to spend the money, a family era Four Dot. The family era pipes are great smokers.

The five dot was a marketing ploy by the successor company, just like the old family era eight dots. In the case of the 5 dot, they figured that people would be attracted by the inference of better quality. The successor company also released pipes featuring the old fishtail logo, the "specially selected" logo and eight dot stems.
The original eight dot was strictly a marketing ploy, the idea being that the firm's distinctive 4 dot logo could be seen from any direction if it was visible on both sides of the stem. It was not a denominator of superior quality over the 4 dot Sasienis.

Thanks for the replies gents.
I assumed that the extra dot was a 'trump' of the earlier 4-dot. Nonetheless, the pipes appeared to be handmade from decent briar so they weren't junk but it's hard to follow a legendary name in the eyes of smokers.
