Savinelli Capri : Ebony vs Golden

[eirikryang]

Keep my eye on Capri...(SP 50% sale)
but gold one is little more expensive than ebony..

is there any difference between Ebony vs Golden except color?

I can't say for sure, but I suspect that because the ebony finish is darker, it has more potential to hide potential flaws in the briar.

eirik', none of my Savs has ever sprung a fill, so if you like the ebony, I think it would remain a good looking pipe. Since there's not much price difference, it's probably wise to choose the one that appeals to you most. Appetizing is what you want. I have some unfinished Savs where the fills show (but not many and not large, I will say). The pipes smoke well and as they become darker with smoking, they look better and better.

I already bought Ebony!

As you say, I think there is no difference, in technical aspect. So I just chose cheaper one.

(Actuallly, This is my first rusticated pipe. also first black pipe)
Thank you for advice

Rusticated pipes always run a tad cheaper. It is harder and take more time to sand and stain and make sure the grain in the design comes out well. Rustication can be done on any hunk of briar and takes less time. But, I prefer rustication, myself. Price had nothing to do with it.

Enjoy!!

@Cosmic
Yeah. I think so!

Worth it to experience rustic pipe.

I hope it serve me by cool, dry smoking.
Thanks for answer.
