Hotjazzbaby - I apologize if I offended you by "correcting" the turn-of-the-century date. I, of course, knew what time frame you were talking about, but I also like clarity.
My one Oom Paul is a Savinelli Non Pareil 9604. I find it a very good smoker but a pain to clean at times.

^^^^ Sandblasted or smooth, pappy? I'll bet that thing's a beaut! Definitely a classic Italian shape, that one.

The Oom Paul was named after a yoga instructor in Minnesota.

I know the Paul family. They live in my neighborhood. Good people.

And then there's that nutball who lives in Finland to deal with.

You mean FinnPaul?

 

[ashdigger]

If he lived in Russia he'd be RUPaul. Wait, we already mentioned that.

Yeh, I have been googling my brains out, but no luck figuring out who the Finnish nut job is. Is this a recent news thing?

 

[timt]

Finnish nutjob guy flew right over my head too. I'm slow though sometimes.

Paul, a member here. He used to go by PaulieScandinavian. Put your googled brains back in, Cosmic.

bnichols23 - Mine is a sandblast.

 

[bnichols23]

Pappy, I love it. Looks just exactly like it ought to. That design just speaks classic Italian to me, & the blast just adds to it!

I was offered $75 for it last year but couldn't see parting with it for that amount. The Nonpareil's are fairly high grade Savinelli's.
I've smoked it as a prop while in Santa costume a couple of years ago. I'll have to see if I can find the photo.

 

[bnichols23]

That'd be a sight to see. And yeah, fully concur. No way would I part with that thing for a paltry 75 smackers. Nonpareils are worth faaaarrr more than that.
