I have an MM cob with a stock tomato red acrylic stem. Most of my stems are traditional colors, but I really like the brightness of the red stem, and so does my wife as it happens. My go-to author is a Luciano, but the Sav 320 is an overwhelming favorite on Forums in this shape.
I've been tempted by the pictures, looks to be a very practical shape.
It's so thick, does it take 9mm filters or something?

Love the finish and colours, but haven’t really come around to the 320 shape. It’s popular though, I bet these sell out quickly enough.
Hey! Isn’t this a COVID19 forum? Why are we talking about pipes?

Makes you wonder if the marketeers at SP see their emails a bit like fishing with a lure... let's toss this one out and see how many strikes we get! Sadly, I fall for some of their stuff all the time!
I think that is the exact one I had on my wishlist! It had the nicest grain in the group when they first listed.
Mine came today also..
My third 320...and I am fighting off the urge for the mega....
6 mm filter, which immediately gets taken out and insert put back instead.
Draws like a dream, makes the best of most blends. Seems to let them shine.
Although I have not tried flake out of it yet.
In my hand nothing has felt better.
Not a clencher...more of a wingback with a footstool smoker..

No, I don’t think these do. Wasn’t mentioned in the literature.
Yes - I wasn’t in the market for $300, $600 smooths. I zoomed up the screen and went through the photos of the $118 dollar smooths and snapped this one up.
That is some absolutely stunning grain. It has got my favourite type of birds-eye where each pattern swirls into the next.
For me, for whatever reason, the 320 is the one pipe in my collection that has that Goldilocks feel, just right...I know it sounds strange but the pipe just gets me.
It is never finicky, it holds a healthy amount, I can clench it albeit not for an extended period of time. It smokes down to ash, takes less relights.
And I suppose it is all psychological (or perhaps not) but I swear the exact same blends in one of my other shapes does not tase as good.
I recently spoke to someone with an immense amount of knowledge on all things pipes...he told me try a lot of things, but only you will know your style.
Who knows, maybe a few years down the line it will change, but this is my comfort pipe.

Noticed all $118 smooths are gone, 25 of the $118 sandblasts remain. I don’t think they’ve sold a one... I looked em all over, none of them appeal to me.
Seems like Punto smooths are moving, not much else though.
That Giubileo smooth is nice looking, but at that price I’d be buying an artisan pipe...

Actually, that was the second release of anniversary pipes. SP had an original release of Peterson spigot anniversary pipes a few weeks back.
They look too similar to one of the 320 Sav's they released as the Saint Nicholas model 2019....
It is funny on the 320's sometimes the smooth or the rusticated looks gives the pipe a whole different look depending on the stem color.
For instance, the Oceano series, I do not care for the blue on the rusticated, or really on the smooth, but think its looks better on the smooth.
I still do not care for the version with the faux military mount..the proportions just look off...however I bet it is a good smoker.
The Alligator ones just look awful to my eye.
I have the Fantasia in rusticated, but do not like it on the smooth....
To each their own I suppose...
