Savinelli KS 121 Estate Pipe....Worth getting??

[towhee89]

Saw an estate Savinelli 121 KS and was curious about it. I have not bought it yet, and I admit I've never owned a Savinelli and it seems like a great deal (the guy's asking $60) when I did a quick google search on their site a KS121 was 200 euros, but looking at them used maybe it's not the steal price I thought it was at first glance (probably is worth what he's asking lol). From what I did read though, the KS stands for King Size and the 121 is the shape number.

Anyhow, anyone have thoughts on this pipe? Worth getting? I googled a bunch but couldn't find any exactly like this with that logo.

I'm a newbie to Savinelli research but I would love to own one. Judging from the logo on the shank it seems vintage, as I don't think Savinelli has used that style logo in a long time.

Any help would be appreciated! (The pics aren't the best)

Meh, condition is everything and Savinelli pipes aren’t particularly collectible. I’d pass personally.

However, I would highly recommend a new Savinelli to you! They can be had quite reasonably and are great smokers. I’ve got several and really enjoy them all.

I think you could find a good new Sav for under $100.

Thanks a lot, that is what I wanted to know. Appreciate it. I will get one down the road for sure, probably new.

I was off by $6 but here’s a good example of the pot shape:

If you like it, I'd get it. Looks like an easy clean up. As for not being collectible, that's the first I've heard of it.

If there was a sale on used slightly chewed drinking straws would you buy them?

Kidding...sort of.

My Savinellis are my favorite pipes.

Is this the guy selling the pipe?



Joking aside, it's decent if you wanna get a fixer-upper, but not for $60... $30-40, maybe, but like others said, for $80-100 you can have a much nicer brand new one.

The nice thing about the estate one is that it's unlikely a filter pipe.

Hahah. Thanks guys... yeah, I'll wait and get a new one sometime.

Alternatively, Rossi pipes are made by Sav. The briar isn’t as pretty but they’re cured & drilled the same. They’re numbered the same except Rossi’s have a “8” as the first digit. ie. Instead of 121 they’re 8121. Most are priced $30-$50(US) less & are great smokers. I’ve got a 8616 bent Billiard & it handles anything I put in it.
