I found this pipe and I don´t know if it´s worth it. I´m a new pipe smoker, come from smoking cigars. It even comes with a czech tool. The guy is selling it in $28
What do you guys think?

20000 bolivars is $28?

 

[nelsongruber]

Yep, we have one of the worst inflation of the world...
$1 = Bs.700

 

[ben88]

Actually 1 Bs(VEF) = $.16

So 20000 = a lot. Unless I am missing something

 

[scrooge]

buy it! $28 you can't beat that with a stick. the box is almost worth that.

 

[nelsongruber]

Actually ben88 those dollars at that price that you found ($1 = Bs. 6,3) is only available to food and parmaceutical companies (we have something called excahge control, look it up in Google as economics is not my strong).
The exchange rate that the normal people can access is the one I posted above $1 = Bs.700

 

[ben88]

Then it is a hell of the deal

Man...
I was always told that socialism was a good thing.

 

[nelsongruber]

It´s really not, we are on the border of an economic breakdown...

If you had included the link, I would be tempted to jump on that deal and steal it from you. I have a Punto Oro EX Pot and it is one of my favorite smokers. Not the best for everything but super for Lat blends, aros and at least good for anything else. Pax.

I've got a 611 KS in the Capri model. It is my favorite pipe. I say buy it.

 

[dmcmtk]

Absolutely, BUY IT, that's a great deal for that pipe! Savinelli's are excellent smokers.

 

[disinformatique]

Punto Oro is Savinelli higher grade pipes. BUY IT !!

 

[woodsroad]

I have two 611 KS's in lower grades and absolutely love them. They are great smokers.

 

[nelsongruber]

Apparently somebody beat me to it, I'm waiting on the owner to answer...

 

[disinformatique]

Dont worry, there are lots of pipes in the market, new and old.

Exactly what I was thinking... Also I like more the looks of a bulldog/rhodesian pipe.

Smokingpipes has a new 611 EX Punto Oro available.

 

[nelsongruber]

Got lucky.
The guy didn´t sold tha Sav so it´s mine now and I even got it for less. It arrives tomorrow.
