Anyone get one? I haven’t bought a new pipe in forever, except cobs, because I’m kind of on a tighter budget now. I thought these were real lookers though, so I just splurged a little and bought one. This will be my first Savinelli. Of course it’s the 2020 version, so it’ll probably burst into flames when I light it. Or be contaminated with coronavirus. These don’t ship direct from Wuhan or anything, do they? Anyhow, I was just wondering what y’all’s opinions are on them.

Lovely pipes. If I didn't have an annual Christmas commission I would likely get one.

Anyone know if they'll offer them in more shapes/stummel finishes? I'd buy one in a 673 or 904 shape. If also buy a 320 in a different stummel finish.

Wishful thinking probably.

The 904 has never been in their holiday shapes.

I personally love the look of most Savinelli’s, they make great pipes. My first three pipe purchases I ever made were all Savinelli’s and I’ve bought many more since. I probably won’t get one of these just because I’m on a tight budget right now but if I had some free dough I’d likely be tempted to buy one.

I think you’ll be very happy with your purchase! Show us pics when it arrives.

Big fan here. We were buddies for years, and until his passing I would commission an annual birthday pipe. Had a funny series of threads and posts regarding a Christmas pipe I asked for in February and it remained unsmoked until Christmas. After his retirement, a few unsold pipes remaining on his site were gifted to me in lieu of commissioned. Great carver, awesome guy, and an amazing friend.

One thing I guess I should’ve checked on: do all filtered Savs come with the adapter to go filterless? I’m usually not a big fan of filters, but all of the Saint Nicks were filtered.
