My Savinelli Luca smooth billiard broke a few days before the move. It mysteriously fell and the briar snapped in half. I was more than a little upset about the situation. That had left me with a really over-used Kaywoodie Deluxe bent apple, which I love, and a churchwarden prince. So obviously I needed another pipe. Now I had planned on buying a heavily bent Petersen with a foot, but I saw the Savinelli 320 Ball shape and had to have it. The Petersen will likely come next time around.
So here it is in all of it’s wondrous glory, the Savinelli Trevi 320 Ball Smooth. Notice the sterling filigreed band on the stem and the nice burl. I am heartily in love with it already.
I know, gorgeous isn’t it. I also picked up a few tins of tobacco to go along with it, some Samuel Gawaith 1792 Flake, some good old Prince Albert, Eric Nording’s Foxhound blend (a favorite of mine), and a tin of Samuel Gawaith Nasal Snuff (I figured what the fuck, you only live once).
I will let everyone, whether you care or not, how it smokes.
