I have been eyeing that particular pipe too! I don't have a Rossi, but I really love the oom paul shape. I've had no issues with moisture, cleaning, etc. The oom paul is an absolute delight.

That's is a nice looking pipe in your profile pic!
Well, I went ahead and bought one, lol. I mean really, $40 new on IPSD sale makes it pretty easy to rationalize. All the other Rossi pipes I own are great smokers and worth every penny so why not.
I may have accidentally also bought a gorgeous estate Savinelli 613 Oscar Dry of similar but slightly less bent shape from Blue Room Briars.... Stuff happens.
That site is dangerous for my wallet.

Awesome! I have been checking out a few other designs from the same series since this 1 came in
I have a Vittoria Canadian and the 320 Author. They smoke every bit as well as my similar Savinelli models but just aren’t as pretty. The Savs are usually lovely briars to begin with and the stems are higher quality, but I can’t criticize the less expensive Rossi models. They are a good value for the money and smoke just fine.
I just got a Rossi Piccolo, the cutty. I really like the weight and size, but I find the draw hole to be rather large. When I inhale, I occasionally draw in some tobacco. I find that annoying . Do others find this with the Rossi pipes as well? Maybe it is just my pipe. Maybe I need to pack more carefully.
I have not had any of this same issue, but I think the bent shape of the Oom Paul may be less likely to allow tobacco up the stem. Draft hole appears quite standard in size to me as well though
Well @Ethan, I just bought one like yours.
I needed a few other things, so took advantage of 15% discount on $100 purchase.
So, $34 for a new Oom Paul.

If a pipe is drilled right, smokes well and looks decent you can't go wrong. I have a Vittoria Canadian that's a good smoker, I love that pipe. 
I get that once in great while but not usually a problem. Sometimes a shag cut, finer cut tobacco can do that.
I wonder if anyone here can answer a question about my Rossi pipe. When it arrived, it came with a little black nib that fits in the pipe, not securely but flush. It doesn't fit with the stem at all, so I can't figure out what it is. It is like a thick black straw that is 1.5-2" long. Does this nib have a purpose?
Some Savs come with a spacer tube that can be used instead of the 6mm balsa filter but I’ve never seen that on a Rossi and they generally aren’t drilled for a filter anyway.
Maybe just some dude at the factory putting random shit in the pipe to mess with the customer, lol? I really don’t have any clue what else it would be.

Fwiw, I just got two new Rossi pipes this week and both came with the wood filters installed..no spacer included.
Thanks! That is my Savinelli Alligator 614. I really like it.
Rossi pipes are Great pipes for the money (If you like briar) ...
Both Oom Pauls arrived today. Pleased with both of them.
The Savinelli 613 is a 3/4 bent and incredibly light weight, beautifully shaped, and smokes great.
The Rossi is full bent and considerably heavier with stout proportions and rusticated, smokes great too.
Very happy with both rather spontaneous purchases. Didn’t really need more pipes but ... it happens.
Depending on how well I like them I might actually get a full on traditional model. Damn near pulled the trigger on a Capri Root today as well. It’s a sickness, lol.
