Unfinished Savinelli Haul

[fightnhampster]

I placed a couple of orders last week to get some unfinished pipes I've been eyeing for a while.

The last box came in today directly from Savinelli's shop in Italy. The box itself was pretty cool

 

[TriedPiper]

Wow! Those sure are pur'dy. Will you be finishing them yourself or leaving them as is?

 

[RL Bucktails]

I ordered a pipe from them recently and got the same box. Shipping was surprisingly fast to the east coast, like 4 days. You have some nice pipes there.

 

[fightnhampster]

Thanks! I'm leaving them as is.

 

[TriedPiper]

Oh, I get it now. I'm new at this.

 

[FurCoat]

That is cool

Sweet pipes. Love the various stem materials. Great score.

My unfinished 320 is one of my favorites. I’ve never done anything to it but just handling and smoking it has made it as dark as if it had been stained brown.

That's quite an order! I'm partial to the Pigna's and the Lino's. That 315 Pigna looks great. The stems are amazing in person. Wish they would make more of them as I still need to replace a 602 I stupidly sold.

That’s a lovely set of Savinelli’s, gunna be some fun smoking those.

 

[Roach1]

That is very cool. You stated they came directly from Savinelli. How do you order unfunished pipes?

 

[Roach1]

Disregard, I didn't know Savinelli sold unfinished pipes until I just checked. I thought it was some special thing.

Great pickup! Love that Fragola 320.

I love my Savinellis and have been wanting to add a 320 to the mix. Nearby B&M has a 320KS Eleganza with the spigot stem that I've been eyeing but I think I like the chunkiness of a standard 320KS better.

 

[Roach1]

If I were to purchase a 320KS it would have to be an Eleganza. They are serious cool.

Yes! The pigna has been on my radar for a while. That is one I had to order directly from Italy. Beautiful stem, with a slight shimmer to it.

@renfield

I have one of those 320s. I have had it for a couple of years and it is turning a nice shade of deep brown

@occidentalist , @Roach1

The 320 eleganza is pretty unique. Hard not to love.

 

[shanez]

Wow. Just wow. Congratulations.

Reading just the title I thought maybe you had more pipes on the way but I see what you did there.

That white stem is gorgeous, btw.

 

[BlueRidge]

Nice Pipes! There’s something special about a heavily smoked unfinished briar, a unique and personal? look that tells a story

Don't wish to be crass, but what did the set cost?

 

[fightnhampster]

Not crass at all! All but the two dark green ones (Spinosa and Pigna) were from smokingpipes Europe. They were roughly about $130 a piece due to discounts I have from being an frequent purchaser.

The two green ones were direct from Savinelli's website and we about $170 apiece. No discount there! These two also got unexpectedly hit with an import tax once they cleared customs that came to $40.

Such is life! I'm thankful to have had some coin to spend on them.

Thanks for the info! I have 10 Savinellis that take balsa inserts and I use them for smoke "non English" blends. (Good for aromatics, not so good for English) I got all 10 during the time I owned a shop and they all have my shop name on them (big deal!} and were part of the annual offering from Savinelli for dealers to buy so many and you got your name stamped on them and they were a special low price. At my cost back then I only paid $20 each for em....
