Completely Underwhelmed...Savinelli Caramella 920KS

The 920:



It still looks large in the pictures, LOL! I don't have Sasquatch hand either, I promise!
Just for good measure, here are the pipes I've acquired so far:
Top to bottom: Nording Rustic Mirage, Savinelli Caramella 920KS, Peterson 2015 Christmas Pipe 408, Savinelli Trevi Smooth 602, and Stanwell Royal Rouge estate pipe (it's smaller than the Caramella and I haven't smoked it, but I picked it up for a really good price). I also have two MO Meerschaum Country Gents and 4 other tiny MO Meerschaums to taste test with.

I had one I picked up and then sold - I didn't really like it much either - I don't want to say it had a hot spot - but it did, not that it's going to burn out - but I think it needs to be smoked gently.. anyway I don't smoke all that gently... So I passed it on - the other owner enjoyed it more and is a slower smoker so that's good.

I still think if I buy another new pipe that will be the one. Something about it has me. I've been eyeing it for two months.

pylorns - good to know and I'll keep an eye out for that when I get to smoking this one. I'll use it for VaPer's or another blend that mso recommended small pipes working for.
Tyler - It's growing on me man. I really dig the shape of it. It's just something about when I hold it that doesn't feel right. It could simply be that it's not loaded with tobacco and hot!
I'm really excited about the Nording and can't wait to smoke it, I'm just waiting on my daughter to say when. She picked it out for a photo shoot she wants to do. I guess I could break it in until then 8)

You're doing it wrong. :rofl:
I would likely clench it all the time.

Yeah, that's what she said :lol:
