I could happily smoke only unfinished Savinelli seconds that I get new on eBay from Italy approximately $50. They have these benefits: 1. I LOVE the way the unfinished briar naturally gets a patina; 2. Some say unfinished briar smokes cooler; 3. I’m not a huge fan of Savinelli finishes anyway; 4. The seconds are usually smaller sized pipes which I prefer for Virginia Flake; 5. They DON’T have the stupid filter adaptors because they have normal sized stem hole.
