A Savinelli Autograph Hat Trick!

[shanez]

Found these 3 Autographs on on an Italian site called Tabaccheria Guzzi.

The prices were great and shipping took under a week overall.

I placed the order and a little while later I emailed them and asked if I could add a tamper to the order to save shipping. They said yes and that they would send me a PayPal invoice to pay the difference. The shipped without sending the invoice! The tamper costs about $50 USD. I've emailed them to tell them I received everything but the invoice. Very trusting of them.

Here's what I got (already had the stands):



A blowfish shape but not cross-grained:



A volcano:



A freestyle churchwarden (more of a demi-churchwarden if you ask me). The stem is marked"Hand Cut":



A silver 925 (sterling) cat shaped tamper by Lubinski:





The tamper is rather small but very nice quality.

Beauties one and all and not your average Autographs!

I love the pipes and the tamper is the icing on the cake. Sav Autos are some really wonderful pipes.

Great additions to (from what I’ve seen) is already a very impressive collection.
Congrats and enjoy.

Stellar pipes! I don't think I've ever seen an Autograph with a straightish Cumberland-style stem like that before. I have only had entry-level Savs, but the Autographs are appealing with their generally large size, attractive grain or sandblasts, and non-filter options.

Cool tamper as well! Will have to check out Guzzi.

I'd expect good things of up-market Savinelli pipes; they're handsome for sure.

Nice!

I've ordered a fair bit from them & always been very impressed (as it happens I have a couple of Ardors on the way from them right now), they're a class act.

I'd never seen one either. The pictures don't do it justice at all. In hand it is very, very nice.

Estate Autographs are an incredible deal at under $150.00. A lot of pipe for the money selling elsewhere for $100.00 more.
