They're both very nice finishes. The Seta in particular uses just the barest of light stains on the smooth and no finish at all on the rusticated, so Savinelli uses excellent briar in these as there's nothing to hide any flaws, and of course it's fun to watch the wood darken slowly as you smoke it. I have a Seta 320 that I like a lot.
Brilliant, Calabash--thanks so much! I like both of them as well and thanks for the input regarding the change in color on the Seta; really like that unique finish you mentioned. Knew there must be somebody here with a bit of knowledge. Faith in the Forum restored. :puffpipe:
Not those two Sav's. Engineering on the different series is pretty consistently good, so I wouldn't worry about that. Be clear on filtering. Most are 6 mm, but you can use an adaptor to eliminate the filter if smoking with no filter is too open for you. But some Sav pipe series don't take filters. Likewise with Sav's economy pipe brand Rossi.
I don't have any experience with Monsieur, and I've never smoked a Seta, but I do have several Savinellis; 3 Nonpareils, a New Art 207, and a Bruna. All are consistently good smokers (the Nonpareils are fantastic!). Savinelli uses very good briar and I've never had one that was poorly engineered. Can't go wrong.
