Outside of my comfort zone once again.... I purchased a rusticated pipe. I hate rustication! But I've been intrigued by Savinelli's Noce, meaning nut in Italian, in which they are rusticated to resemble a walnut, especially once I saw one someone posted on Facebook that had colored to a beautiful golden brown. I also love that the Noce line come with two stems, one black and one swirled that I can best describe as creamer freshly poured into a cup of coffee.
The Noce
I think that coffee creamer stem is going to look slick once the pipe begins to color. I think this one's going to be fun to watch.
The other one is another unfinished Savinelli 320... 1 because they're very inexpensive, 2 because it's fun to watch them color, and 3 because my other unfinished Sav 320 smokes like a dream, and 4 because I've been tempted to put a stain on my old one but at the same time think it would be a shame to miss out on the natural coloring. Now I can stain one and keep the other natural.
The Savinelli Unfinished
It looks like this one is hiding a load of birdseye on it :mrgreen: Now for what hopefully isn't too long of a wait.
