Any thoughts about Savinelli 321? I'm particularly interested if it is as good as the mythical 320. I like its relatively small chamber.

In the last year, the 320 has become one of my favourite shapes; its feel in the hand, volume of chamber, provide me with a more enjoyable smoking experience. I've been eyeballing a 321 recently, but wonder if I'd be disappointed by its smaller size, as I tend to crave larger chambers. I do wonder if a 321 might fit the bill for when I have less time for a smoke.
Funny, I was just looking (read: salivating) at this: Savinelli Bianca Smooth (320 KS) (6mm) | Buy Savinelli Tobacco Pipes at Smokingpipes.com - https://www.smokingpipes.com/pipes/new/savinelli/moreinfo.cfm?product_id=455324
Going to look into the 321 as well, as I love the shape of both. Interested to hear some input from others. My allegiance to Savinelli is rather strong! ??

I have this little guy.... wonderful pipe
I just looked up the dimensions of the 320s, most have a chamber around 1.33 inches. I always thought they were larger given the chat about them.
That's very interesting. Maybe it's the angle, but, that doesn't look bulbous enough to be in the 320/321 family—I've also never seen a stem that long on them, or a flat rim. Would you be able to post more pics from different angles? I'm intrigued. I recently bought an Autograph that is sort of like a 320, but, has a flat rim.
I have a Rossi 320 and I’m seriously considering trading it on a 321. Just for convenience and preference.
I prefer pipes with chamber diameter around 0.8 inch. Otherwise a windcap doesn't fit and I'm using it all the time when a pipe is not lit, in pocket or in the car. A corck plug is not an option and smaller chambers are perfect for shorter smokes or stronger blends. That's why a 321 would be a better choice.
For home defense I'm totally ok with bigger sizes but for carrying maybe something else.
Even 321 is probably a big one for pocket size even if it's a mini version with a short coloured stem.

I have a 321 Tre that I really like. For me it’s a nice size when I want a shorter smoke. Not too big not too small.
I went through a small pipe buying phase, I was looking for a shorter smoke, something other than a cob.
I learned I don’t like little pipes, they just don’t satisfy me. The 321 does the trick for me.

The Savinelli 320 has an approximate chamber diameter of 24mm wide x 33.5mm depth while the 321 has a chamber diameter of approximately 20mm x 27mm depth. I had considered the 321 but its not deep enough for me. It seems to me and I may be wrong (again), that they took a bulldog or rhodesian and made it to have the characteristics of a pot - wider and shorter chamber which I understand from this site is best for certain tobaccos. It also seems to me to be the same shape as a rhodesian or bulldog but with very thick walls. Perhaps a mini-tomatoe shape ?? I understand the attraction to the shape as I really enjoy my Peterson Kapmeer 999 which is a 17mm x 35mm chamber and seems perfect for almost every occasion and blend. I would like to have a rhodesian shape in 18-20 x 40 but then again --- wouldn't that be a brandy shape which i already have ??? Oh, the choices ! 
Bottom line - can't got to wrong with a Savinelli.

321 is very convenient size especially when at work and multipurpose, I have owned one in the past but for the size it seemed to be a bit too heavy 36gr)
