Apparently they go all out for these. The box is leather covered wood with a suede lining and a magnetic closure. It sounds like a humidor when it snaps shut.

Bling, yes. Attention to detail not so much. (You must admit it's a pretty basic oversight)
what are you pointing out? Cause I don't see what you do for some reason

Looks like a reflection or something. Can't reproduce it. Too bad the stem' s not Vulcanite though.
All righty, then. If it came off without polishing it was just buffing compound that didn't get wiped away before boxing.
Good to know the crease wasn't left rough/unfinished. As I said, that would have been a low-rent sort of oversight. (Doubly so on their premium line.)
Enjoy.
btw, have you ever smoked a 904 before? Lovely balance.

Gorgeous pipe.
Yeah, too bad about the acrylic. There have been several Savinellis that I wanted to buy, except for the acrylic bit. They still make some with vulcanite, though, even on the premium lines.

I got that one as it was a Giubileo d'Oro 904 that was sandblasted instead of smooth to be my 31st and crown of the collection. The acrylic is a bit off putting, but the ring grain is perfect! Guess I can deal with the stem.?
Very nice. I suspect the acrylic won't dampen your enjoyment too much!
Beautiful Pipe!!!
I have smoked one estate Giublio d’Oro which is a fantastic smoker as well.
Enjoy your showstopper pipe.
What happened to expanding this collection to an one year set?

In case it turns out you can't, I know a guy who knows a guy. Be happy to set you up.
I may reach out to Savinelli to see if a replacement Vulcanite stem with brass dots is available. Most of my acrylic stemmed pipes are just for looking at and I really want to smoke this one.
That was number 31, I did post 32 recently. It will all depend on what pops up. I do find myself not viewing pipes for sale much at all anymore though.
I wouldn't let something like acrylic stop me especially with a pipe like that!
It is a very nice pipe. Even the chamber has been polished to a glassy finish. That stem though. Acrylic just has no give.
I prefer acrylic for just that reason.
