Savinelli "Long John" 413 smooth. Coolest Smoke Ever!!!

[shawn622]

I am very pleased with my latest PAD pick up. I won this pipe along with 2 lesser name pipes for 26.25 shipped. It is easily the best smoking pipe I have in my collection. I smoked some Dark Twist in it, a tobacco that has burnt my mouth in every bowl I've smoked it in, and really enjoyed it with no burn or bite what so ever. I did a little work on the pipe, cleaning all the tar from around the rim and buffing out the pipe and bit with olive oil. I had just started smoking another bowl of Dark Twist when I decided to take some pictures and show it off a bit. This is the first name brand pipe I ever purchased, so it was like a right of passage for me so to speak. It has a couple of fills in it that irritated me at first, but they just make it original. So I'm loving this pipe ::

The Savinelli Long John is a classic. I was torn between a Long John and a Bing's Favorite (about the same price). Didn't want to risk getting a stinker on e-bay so I bought new. Hope you continue to enjoy that one as they run between $85 and $110 depending on the stain and finish.

Forget the fills, it's got character, lovely pipe and good restoreing job. The old cajun

Congrats on the Sav. they are great pipes.

Yup, its got character, you like it and thats all that matters, nice pick up and nice price. My B&M has one of these left and it runs $90. Happy Puffing!

Oh wow, i never priced it. I'm even happier now because the other 2 pipes are pretty flipping nice. They are worth the $26.25, so the Long John is like a bonus :DThis long John smokes so cool that even the tobacco that burns me every time is smooth as silk. It must be the amount of briar the smoke has to travel through. It is 7.25 inches and the bit is barely over an inch. I'll post pictures of the ither 2 pipes that came in the auction in a bit. Thanks for the kind words!!!

Cant go wrong with a sav

Nice score Shawn, looks like Ebay was good to you this time. :nana:

 

[gmwolford]

Very nice score. Looking forward to seeing the two bonus pipes, too.

I have one in the sandblast finish. They are a very good smoke and it's kind of nice having the bowl a little further away, especially if you wear tri-focals!

I was eyeing one of those too Shawn - you got yourself a great deal. They're nice looking pipes and you know what they say "you can't go wrong with a sav" ::
If that's not already Savinelli's slogan, I think it should be!

 

[captainsousie]

Great pipe and a great price. You're gonna have to post pics of the other 2 as well.

 

[shawn622]

I am cleaning the other 2 up now. Yea Cigrmaster, all that whining and bitching I did and I guess the universe just wanted me to wait on this deal. I got a very sweet Guildhall London Pipe #215 by Comoy in another auction for 20 shipped. i will post that on a seperate thread. So eBay paid off, I just jumped the gun!!!

Real nice pipe there. I love Savinelli pipes. What are the other two pipes you won with it?

 

[shawn622]

These are the other 2 pipes I wone in the auction with the Long John. They were a mess. Green stems, almost white at the last inch. Both rims were caked with tar. I did the best I could with what i had. I should have taken before pix. I really revived them quite a bit. The first pipe is marked England - Hilbourne and the second is simply marked Italy on the bottom of the stem.

Here is the Italy marked pipe:

Ugh I flipped the pix at Photobucket. I will have the mods fix it if they would be so kind.

 

[beewrangler2]

Two more nice pick ups. Should be good smokers.

There are currently three Savinelli pipes in my collection and they are all great pieces. The Pisa has a few fills that are now obvious, but that changes the smoke not at all. Congratulations on a fine acquisition.

 

[captainsousie]

Those are nice looking pipes as well Great score and good luck on finding the next one.
