What is the best Savinelli pipe?

[OzPiper]

I have only 2 Savinellis -

A Giubileo d’Oro shape 102 straight billiard with a tapered stem and gold band.


And a Silver series shape 616KS thick shanked bent billiard with a tapered stem


Both are fine smokers
I love the heft of the 616KS but it is too heavy to be a clencher

320 EX

I've got a couple of 321s that I really like. It's a smaller 320 without a filter. I have a rusticated one like this, and a smooth, as well.

Anything pre-balsa!
I’m partial to the old Nonpariel.

Definitely the Lollo.. Best pipe for tactical situations... fits nicely in a grenade pouch.

Savinelli makes some really good pipes. I dig their Autograph Series and Punto Oro 320 KS and 673 Series. Hard to make a bad decision honestly. I’d consider a 320 as a must have pipe somewhere in the mix.

I see you are from RVA- what's your B&M in the area... Richmond really does not seem to have any good pipes stores.. all seem very cigar forward.... Let me know...

Tobaccocheria Corti, Smoking Pipes, Novelli IT, The Danish Pipe Shop mostly.
Close B&M’s would be Georgetown Tobacco in DC,
Old Virginia Tobacco in Pentagon City DC.
Richmond hasn’t had a real Pipe Shop since 2010
Havana Connections does carry some C&D and Peterson blends.

Sooooo many variables.
What style blend?
What cut?
Is it for lunting?
Is it for a sit down session ?
Does tactile feedback in pipes matter?
How long do you wish the session to last?
Do you want 6 or 9mm filters or none at all?
See how complicated it can be?
Or otherwise just go to Savinelli's site or to another online dealer and see which one appeals to you.
Chances are if you stick with the hobby long enough you will by, trial and error, find the right fit.

NIce…all I have are 320's but have been curious about the 321….may have to spring for one.
