What an exceptional pair. I've been hunting for a cutty with similar proportions. These are truly beautiful, congrats and enjoy!

How do you like the Savinelli 140? The jury’s still out for me...
I’m in love with the stuff. I really enjoy European style blends with the floral notes so this one is right up my alley. It’s sweet with a whisper of smokey undertones and a touch of citrus/wild flowers. I’m not obviously tasting the orientals though. I hope it ends up growing on you. I think it’s a fantastic blend, however, I wish they were just a bit more heavy handed with the floral topping but it’s still a winner in my book.

@halfdan just in case you fancy an evolutionary step up in 'Clay Pipe World' you might want to search these guys out from Germany as they make an excellent clay pipe with a modern stem, aluminum band which acts as a heat exchanger and makes it really easy to clean. Just a thought my friend......

Looks a nice pipe, did you actually smoke it?
Where did you get it from?
Are they any less fragile than regular clay pipes?
