Savinelli Giubileo d'Oro 313 just arrived

[saint007]

Very nice!
This past weekend, I bid on a smooth KS316. It had a wide 14 carat gold band and retailed for about $1,000. I had some bids on other pipes and was too conservative in my bidding. The estate pipe sold for under $200!
I picked up this sandblasted Billiard over a year ago at an estate sale here in my town for about $20.

I had a feeling the filter thing wouldn't work out.

Yeah, I don't really get the whole "filter" thing. I just took it out. I like the open draw without it.

I thought it was a discontinued series. Where did you get it. I have 5. They take a lot of breaking in, then smoke great. You don't need the filter.

I didn't know the Giubileo d'Oro series took a filter. I have one of the older ones I found at a antique street fair.

I'm a Savinelli fan to begin with but the Giubileo is such a great pipe I am now looking for more of the vintage ones.

Smokingpipes has several in stock.

@seacaptain - Great Dunhill. Was wondering if you'd keep it. I'm extremely happy with all of my newer one's.
Something recently changed as Giubileo's are readily available now. Even sandblasted. Never was the case.

Modern Sav's are all filter pipes. (and acrylic vs vulcanite stems?)
