Anyone UP For a 1400.00 Savinelli?

[cigrmaster]

I was perusing smokingpipes and checked out the Savinelli's
I ran across this pipe and was astounded. I didn't realize Sav's went as high as this. It is a nice pipe but 14hundy looks a bit much,

I love Savinelli pipes, but yeah... no.
The grain is not really even that nice, in my opinion.

 

[Richmond B. Funkenhouser]

Just a novice here, but how can that one be over a thousand dollars better than their other pipes?

 

[canucklehead]

It definitely is a pretty nice looking Savinelli, but it's like $200 nice. Is there gold parts on it I'm missing?

 

[scloyd]

Slide that decimal point one spot to the left and I'd be interested. $148.00 yes, $1480.00 no.

 

[cigrmaster]

The most I would pay if I wanted it is 200.00 The grain really isn't spectacular which it should be on a 1400 pipe.

I would pay $260 if it was Peterson.

Yikes, that seems a bit much. I love the run of the mill Savs for their great smoking qualities even at their lowest finish levels.
Giubeleo d’Oros are their top of the line standard pipes, but aren’t they still factory pipes that are hand finished? I think the Autographs are handmade from start to finish, but as the most expensive Savinelli I’ve bought was $200, I wouldn’t really know for sure

There are a few Savinelli's that go for that price but that doesn't seem right for that particular one.

 

[olkofri]

They'd have to pay me two grand to make me spend 1400 on a pipe.

 

[mingc]

I hope there are no fills or pits in that pipe

 

[cigrmaster]

Fpr that price it had better come with a happy ending.

The shaping is very nice. The graining is good, but not astounding. Shaping of the stem and button looks fine. Much more than I'd be willing to spend on almost any pipe.

IMO, this example is overgraded, but I have seen a few Savinelli GdO three stars that grain wise were the equal of most any Dunhill DR I have seen. And usually larger.

 

[mityahicks]

Maybe 500

 

[Kilgore Trout]

LOL, I have a Savinelli Straight Grain 4011, which is pretty much the same shape, that has a MUCH better grain than that. I think I paid $40 for it. Anyone who pays $1400 for that need to have their head examined.

They are testing the market. Nice pipe, but not an artisan pipe made by a single maker. Even then.... spendy. Larry Roush and Trever Talbert and others make ideal pipes, perfect engineering, unique, and for less $$.

It's on sale for 1332.00...if you act now!

 

[alaskanpiper]

No. I like Savs as much as the next guy, but for the price of several Rad Davis pipes? Or Castellos? I think not....

Clearly you guys haven't watched the video. This thing has only been handled with white gloves. It's that special.
