Savinelli Roma

[katarn07]

Hello all,
In my quest to find a Savinelli 320, I've come across a fairly affordable option in the Savinelli Roma. The description for the pipe says it's red. Maybe it's my phone's screen but the pipe looks practically black to me apart from the red rim. Does anyone have one or have you encountered one? Are they a dark dark red that they look almost black like the pictures show? Or are they a lighter shade like the rim appears to be?
With the Amazon gift cards I still have leftover from Christmas, this pipe will only cost me $30 out of pocket. What a steal, right?
Edit: In this photo from smoking pipes it looks black with a red tint that reminds me of dry brushing.

Katarn07,
All the Savinelli Roma's are Black rusticated pipes. They do have a somewhat reddish tinge to them in certain light, but they are black. Very nice pipes for the money.

That pipe is dark red on my screen.

I have 4 Romas. I would call them black. They are great pipes.
See this thread for some pictures.

Great. I wanted a black pipe. The red tint is an interesting accent and makes it more interesting than a black Trevi. Thanks for the feedback. I'm pulling the trigger on it.

As far as looks go, the Roma is my favorite Savinelli line. Definitely black, with the bowl rim being a slightly reddish-tinted brown stain.

I actually like the Roma better than the smooth 320 for some reason.

People love their 320s. Handsome pipe.

I ended up spending $0.00 out of pocket on this. I had the Christmas gift cards but also had racked up some Rewards Points using my credit card on bills and groceries. Gotta love Rewards Points. It's been a while since there were any for me to spend. My wife usually uses them on her essential oils. Or baby stuff.
My father-in-law is going to get the Savinelli Trevi Smooth 320. I don't know what blend we'll smoke first. He's trying out all the stuff we have. I haven't been able to move on from Frog Morton. Love that stuff.
