Couldn't resist. Found it local from a collector, we had a good chat going through his hundreds of pipes--a lot of high-end ones like Ben Wades, vintage Charatans, etc. that were nice but just didn't appeal to me--and I couldn't resist this one. My first real bent-stem, of course in a billiard, and it smokes amazingly cool and comfortable. If not for seeing Savinellis so much on this forum I'd have likely passed it by, and I'm glad I didn't. It's a Chiara model, but a discontinued incarnation of it; I haven't been able to date it precisely, but his reckoning was 1980's. Looked like it was smoked twice before I got it--box and all.
Think I'll have to name her 'Bella'
