Tom, that's a beautiful Savinelli! I like the Autographs because they're not so 'over the top' overstyled like many Italian pipes seem to be (just my opinion). What's in that 'Bagdad'? Non-aromatic?
I've been mulling over hopping down to Las Vegas (my least favorite place on Planet Earth) for the pipe show there over the Halloween weekend. Haven't decided yet ....
Howdy there Tom! Thanks so very much ;-) I'd have to agree with the overstyling, LOL (although there are some pretty wacky autographs and Ardors out there--not to mention some Ser Jacopos that have some questionable shapes, :-P )
Bagdad is a non-aromatic, but the recipe is a shop secret--all I know is I like it quite a bit, and there's a good deal of latakia in it!
Did you make it to Las Vegas for the pipe show? I hope it was a good one for them--Kansas City usually has its show then...
I just purchased my first Savinelli, mine is an autograph 4 and I think I might start buying more Savinelli, its my most beautifully grained piece, nice thick walls that dwarve the rest of my otherwise large pipes and most importantly, one of my best smokers.
Congratulations on the purchase! At the Autograph level, the grain is really outstanding on the Savinellis...all the way from the 4, up to the 000E (although my highest is only a 0 and most of mine are 4, 5, and 6, with a few 8s thrown in for good measure, LOL!) I've always found them to be remarkably good smokers and it sounds as though you've discovered that as well :-)
Heh...thanks so much :-) Don't get rid of your cigars anytime soon, though--I love 'em just as much as my pipes and they're a pleasure all their own! :-)
the background music is an excellent choice but i want you to teach your boy how to do that trick you do letting smoke excape your mouth, sucking it back in and out your nose.
thanks for mentioning my name on this vid butt i wanna be the one to get all these superb Ardors in the will!!
Nice pipe Tom . God bless , michael

background music? what is it?

Howdy there, make--the piece is called 'Are You Going With Me?' from Pat Metheny's early 1980s days :-)
