Savinelli: Saint Nicholas 2021… Already!?! ?

[Chasing Embers]

No I mean the stem, like the swirly pearlescent effect, but with red and white mixed. Like a peppermint stick.

They did this but it ended up looking like a sock from the '70s.



I guess if it were too holiday looking they think it will limit the pipe's use. Here's a Christmas pipe I had made in 2016. Definitely seasonal but can be inconspicuous for the rest of the year.

I remember those socks! Wait, I wore those socks ?
I think what he meant was not stripes, but the red being swirled in with that pearlescent white they used last year. Kind of like the swirly lucite stems you see on the Romas, but with red and white instead of different shades of brown. Honestly I think it’d look a little pink but maybe not.

I wonder if they’ll be restocked at all? They seem to be going fast at SP. No 616KS now. If I can’t get a 616, I’ll probably hold off.

Wow, they sold them pretty fast. When I purchased mine they had 130’ish. Now they’re down to 7. I’m sure they’ll restock. They did it a few times w/last year’s batch?

Definitely my sexy Christmas SAV look from now on.

This is the closest rod stock I could find.

Yeah, that is too pink.

Okay, now I'm in the right direction. My supplier from years ago is no longer around it appears.

They just added a few more 616s…

That's still not what I mean. You know how this year is green with white pearlescent bits? Now that but make the green red, with white pearlescent bits. In the stem.

Or: You know how the Peterson Draculas are red with black swirls, and none are the same? Like that, but white with red swirls. I don't mean the bands. I mean the actual stem.

Didn't read my following posts about rod stock available did you?

If they went that far, the pipe would be out of place for the rest of the year. A commissioned piece however could get exactly what you want. And no, I don't know anything about the Peterson Dracula. Peterson never had any shapes that caught my attention.

I really like this Poul Winslow from a few years back.

Wow! Pretty cool. That is certainly a festive looking pipe ?

I keep an eye out on ebay and other second hand retailers but i've never seen one for sale. Not surprising really, if I had one I wouldn't sell it.

i saw right when I posted. I liked them. The pink is close to what I meant.

I just went ahead and bought a 616KS after the restock.
