My IPSD purchase arrived just in time to do a grand reveal. I have always appreciated the Savinelli Chubby Author shape (320 KS). Finally managed to get one. Most of my pipes were bought used, but for a change I bought this new. Will start to break this in from evening

1. It is from the Giubileo D’Oro Range, with a smooth natural finish. Giubileo D’Oro in Italian is translated to Golden Jubilee in English
2. Comes in a beautiful box with a matching tamper
3. Beautiful birds eye ? on both sides. One side the grain is slightly better than the other side.
4. Cross grain everywhere else

Great looking example of a Giubileo d'Oro!


I got one of their Gd'O 904s around this time last year but finding out they no longer come with vulcanite stems was heartbreaking.
Thank you! I remember your Giubileo D’Oro. It was beautiful and a well deserved showstopper for your yachtsman collection!
 
The shape always intrigues me, although that Birdseye is worth getting almost no matter what pipe it’s on.

The 320KS strikes me like a churchwarden, as something best used sitting down, when you don’t mind holding the pipe in hand for the entire bowl.
Thank you! This specific pipe was in my wishlist for some time. Finally pulled the trigger.
This shape is very popular and to me looks very attractive. I will find out first hand now it smokes.
