Plan to buy more Savinelli pipes during the holiday season. So far I have a 320 and Bing’s fav. Love them both and want to see what other shape your folks recommend.
Your Favorite Savinelli Pipe Shape

I perfer the 622KS for English blends, one of if not the best smoker I have. I have a 606 that I have not smoked yet so I can't comment on how well it smokes. Being a SAV I'm sure it will perform superbly. I will say the 606 is a gorgeous and well balanced shape.
I was just about to post this pic in "What Are You Smoking", when I saw this post. So.. two posts with on pic... 
Here I have a bent apple Savinelli 626.

The 606 billiard is my favorite shape. The 606 can handle any blend beautifully, as do any Savinelli billiard.
I got a Bing's Favorite a few months ago, and I absolutely love it. I have about 4 or 5 Savinellis, and my Bing is the go-to. Also have a 645, 902 and a 316.

I only have 5 and those 2 are among them. My favorite Sav shapes.
I have several Savinellis including a 320. Favorite shapes are 114, 412 and a 707 that gets lots of action.
Well, take it for what it is, but I have only one shape, which is a Rossi. But it's the 8202 apple, the Rossi version of the 202. Love it.
IMHO, you've already got the pick of the Savinelli liter. Those are the two shapes I think are unique and special in the Savinelli line-up. They are polar opposites, yet special in their own way. The Bing's Favorite is a wonderful Virginia tobacco pipe and the 320 is great for English and Oriental blends.
I couldn't pick just one. I don't have any that didn't work out. To mention two, I like the 404 yacht, which also comes as a Rossi sometimes numbered 8404, and the bulldog 673 that has rounded edges on its diamond shank. I also like the churchwarden 601 for being the embodiment of a billiard warden with a fully arched stem and is at a good price, usually. I've very much enjoyed my straight apple Venere rusticated that I won in the days of yore in the pipes magazine and SP cartoon caption contest. If I were to get another, I'd look at the 606 pictured in posts on this thread. Savinelli is a brand I seem to have a lot of, along with Peterson, Johs, and MM cobs.
I only have one. A 316 KS Golden Burl (Capri) similar this one. I love it for its wider chamber. All my other pipes are more deep than wide.
This is probably my favorite shape (677), although I want to get a Bing’s Favorite someday too. I have two of these, they are just so comfortable to clench.
But I also love this shape too. It was made for a local B&M so I don’t know what the shape number is but it’s one of my best smokers.

I love the 122, esp. for complex blends. The delicate curve of the stem is aesthetically and orally pleasing. That last phrase doesn't feel right somehow...
