Ignore the haters Alan (as much as you can) I know it's hard not to take it personally b/c you put so much time, effort, and energy into your content. Those of us in the community appreciate you - I appreciate you. Now I'm gonna go buy something from the cottage to poke my finger in their eye! 👍😁
@user-jf3ro4sb2c I haven't met any. We seem to be a relatively gentle and understanding community. I'm sure they exist, but I have never had the displeasure of coming across them so far :)
I'm 26 years old and have been a fairly avid cigar smoker for a handful of years. I finally made the leap into pipes because of yourself and the gentleman from the Dry Creek Wrangler School. We sure could use more folks like yourselves. Thank you for the content!
Pipe tobacco is great! There are a lot of different options and it's entirely different from cigars. Pipe tobacco is much more attractive to the senses as well. Especially to those who don't partake. It's definitely a skill that takes some learning though, not as easy as lighting up a good cigar.
@@clayfox899 What I love with pipes are the pipes. They are more than just a means to an end. I have 5 pipes and 3 in my rotation. I recently started and expanding the pipe collection is both fun and expensive. Trying new tobaccos are also fun. Have you tried latakia? If not it's a must, it's in most English Blends.
Dear Alan, I'm Italian and I actually live less then 5 miles from the Savinelli factory in Lombardy! A friend of my father works there and he gifted me a beautiful Leonardo Limited Edition Pipe. I'm just starting my pipe smoking journey, but I'm thinking of buying a cheap pipe to begin because I'm afraid of ruining such a work of art. Thanks, Davide
You have good friend. And I love and miss Italy and the Italian people, so much. I learned to love them when I was there for two years from my 13 to 14 years.
I’m glad you talked about what a man can and can’t afford. I’m pretty much on a Dr Grabow and Missouri Meerschaum budget, and they do quite well for me.
Thanks Derrick, I’m in the same boat. Although I’m sure Savinelli and Peterson pipes are great, they are way above my means. I am happy with estate pipes and new but affordable pipes I can buy on eBay. Happy piping!
Same here. Single Father. Starting over out of state. Not complaining just explaining! I’ve got three corn cobs at the moment which I thoroughly enjoy it but I cannot wait for the day when I get my hands on a fine Savinelli 🙏
This is a lesson I learned with cigars. Sometimes the $6 cigar will out smoke a $20 cigar. I started pipe smoking with a house blend and $4 corn cob pipe from the local brick and mortar
To say that you present the best pipe content, style and useful information would be the understatement of the century… Absolutely love your videos - thank you!
Cigar smoker for several years. I bought my first pipe a few months back. I purchased a Savinelli 677 KS alligator. I will admit, I didn't have a clue how to smoke it, but the feel and looks of the pipe had my interest. After watching channels like muttonchop, dry creek wrangler, and yours, I can proudly say I've learned how to enjoy this fine art! Thanks for the great content guys like yall put out.
I love my 6 Savinelli pipes. Great quality. I totally relate about grandparents and their favorite actors. My grandfather smoked a pipe and his favorite actor was Charles Bronson who also smoked pipes. Good stuff. 👍
I have one Savinelli Punto D'Oro 105, a small, light straight billiard shape pipe, rusticated. It immediately became my favorite. At the time of writing, this video has 227 likes and 0 dislikes. So please don't worry about negativity in the comment section. If some people want to spend time of their life to smear nasty content on the internet, that's their loss, not ours. You make a wonderful case each video for how life can - and should - be enjoyed instead.
I’m new to your channel and even newer to the Brotherhood of the Briar…You,sir with your calm Southern demeanor make me even more prouder of my Mississippi heritage and the good and decent people of the South….Blessings to you and all of the Brothers/Sisters of the Briar…………….Delta Devil here in Buckeye Country….
Your style is refreshing. I watch all of your videos and enjoy them. It’s more than just a relaxing smoke. It’s a touch of class and appreciation for things we enjoy. Good work sir! Troy Scott, LA
I'm a lurker but I love to hear about pipes and stories from pipe smokers. I used to smoke back in my college days and for 10 years or so thereafter. I'd love to begin again sometime. When I smoked I had three Savinelli's (that I recall), a billiard, a bent bulldog and, I think it was called, a "vest" pipe-one of those where the stem bent back and it could be carried in one's shirt pocket. It was the worst pipe I ever owned. I had a few other pipes, all of them gone somewhere. My best pipe was an OTC pipe of questionable heritage. it was like an Oom Paul, deep bend and huge bowl and I could puff away for an entire episode of Sherlock Holmes (Basil Rathbone.) That was back in the '70's! Ah, memories. Be encouraged! You do a fine job.
I do so agree! 😊 A tribute to Savinelli is long due, factory or not, they are still hand made and not on a conveyer belt or by robots. They offer excellent quality, design, style, quality control and consistent enormous choice at a very reasonable price 😊 Your store is great and that Christmas special is fantastic! 😊😊👍👍
I've been smoking pipes for 43 years now, and after about my first 6 months a tobacconist introduced me to Savinelli's Punta de Oro pipe (back in 1980) and I've been smoking Savinellis ever since. For the past 15 years my favorite pipe has been the 606 half bent rustic model. The bowl diameter to depth ratio is just perfect! Savinellis do come with a balsa filter, having a triangular cross section. Now if that filter is pushed too far forward or too far backward so that it covers up the draw hole on either the stem or the bowl...... You will have trouble getting a proper draw. So the proper thing to do is to situate the filter halfway between the stem and the ball draw holes. That way you get a proper draw and also moisture absorption by the balsa filter.
I got a 606 ks roma, smoking it right now, great pipe, all my savinellis smoke great, i got a 701 and the stamping has a ghost "701" on it but you can hardly see it but, i have had great experiences eith mine
I'm in the market for my first Savinelli pipe and your video appeared as a recommended video. Great timing. The shapes that I'm favoring are the 626 for my main pipe and a 106 for when I want a shorter pipe smoking session. Always great pipe video content from The Pipe Cottage!
It's because of your influence that I've been able to enjoy pipe smoking as much as I have. Learning about different styles and different blends has led me to be tobacca curious lol. You are a strong male figure and I have respect for you and I thank you for sharing all that you have over all these years!
As somebody that has a UA-cam channel, I know what it’s like to get negative comments. I found that when you immediately delete them, and then block that person it helps flush that thought out of your head. I’ve only listen to a couple of your videos. I subscribed immediately. I don’t even smoke a pipe. But I can’t for the life of me think how anybody could even come up with one thing negative. So far what I’ve been listening to, is just your opinion. You state that at the beginning. I have not gotten one negative comment from somebody that actually has made a video. I find that very interesting. God bless you. Thank you for taking the time to make these videos. I find them very interesting. I did smoke a pipe while I was in college for one semester. I found that I was playing with my pipe and keeping it lit, etc. etc. instead of studying, so I had to quit.
I enjoy your accent and videos very much. I see that you are an vid reader of history book. So am I. Savinelli makes pipes without filters. I just but an estate pipe, a long Lumberman, and it doesn't take filters.
Success makes jalous, that's the problem of these envious people. I really like your channel and your posts help me a lot to get into my new hobby. So don't be angry with these guys - sir, you are a true gentleman with a lot of great and honest thoughts, thank you very much! Greetings from Germany! ✌
I have a 321 Tigre ( smaller author) and take with me while walking the dog … tobacco usually ashes about the time I reach home.. Always appreciate your content. Thank you!!
Thanks for sharing. I’ve been pipe smoking for almost a year now and have only smoked out of Savinelli pipes. Affordable, look stunning, made and smoke well. Bings favourite I reach for mostly. My favourite shapes at the moment are the 811, Canadian, Zulu and bent Dublin. Haven’t smoked out of a 626. Definitely a 626 and a poker next on the list.
I am highly encouraged by your tenacity in face face of the adversity from those who come around to merely stir the pot. keep up the fine work, I look forward to more high quality content.
I left a comment on how I wish I had the southern twang like you. I meant nothing mean sprinted about it. I’m from the northern Tar Heel state and have a little twang myself. And like Alabama said, I’ll speak my southern English as natural as I please. I enjoy your channel. Thanks
I greatly enjoy your channel and your store, and plan to purchase again from you very soon. I can't imagine why anyone would leave a negative comment, but don't let it get to you.
I just bought a Savinelli 673 KS Alligator in green (bent apple) from Oklahoma’s oldest pipe shop in Tulsa (Ted’s pipe shoppe) just before Christmas and I absolutely love it. I’ve wanted one of these for a long time. P.S. love the channel my friend.
the dispute about which pipe is better than the author's or the factory's is meaningless. The factory pipe can smoke much better than the original one, despite the cost. Now there are too many artisans who believe that in 2-3 years they have become great masters. In fact, in factories, most of the processes are also done manually, but at the same time there is experience accumulated over the centuries and the division of production, which, of course, is a step forward. And the experience in choosing briar is huge, as is the wholesale access to it. So, from my own experience, I vote for factory pipes.
There are always naysayers. To each their own. As for me: excellent video and it's nice to sit back and enjoy the advise and enthusiasm of a Gentleman. Best to you and yours Sir!
Hello Alan. I very much appreciate you sharing your thoughts and experiences. It’s sad to think we have trolls on the YTPC. All the best from Scotland 🏴. Garry
I’m looking to buy my first “real” pipe. I’ve had a very cheap drug store pipe and it was delicious but smoked terribly. Thank you for making this video and introducing me to these beautiful pipes.
Haters are going to hate. The larger your channel gets the more negativity will come your way. Keep doing great content, focus on the love and ignore the hate my friend. Great video.
I just happened upon your channel, sir, and have enjoyed it immensely. I just received a Savinelli 313 Roma today. I look forward to browsing your store for future purchases.
Just getting started in the pipe smoking hobby. After getting started on cigars for a bit, I came across your channel and decided to give pipe smoking a try. Definitely a bit more of a challenge, but I enjoy it very much. Just picked up 4 more pipes today at an antique shop. They all are in fantastic shape. I enjoy the old stuff much more than the new. Not afraid of using something that has been used before me. It has a history and I like that. I just want to thank you for the way you present your content. You are the only channel in the community that I watch on a regular basis.
I myself have a Savinelli Churchwarden. It has been my lone pipe for 36 years. It has developed a somewhat disquieting patina to the stem over the years, but it is a thing of beauty. I’ve always adored him. I call him Carlo.
Thank you very much for this wonderful video. My Savinelli pipes are among my favorite pipes. Pipe smoking is a great sign of erudition, thinking and knowing how to enjoy life. Your videos are a great testimony to living life to the fullest.
Watching your videos is what got me started smoking my pipes. I love listening to your wisdom. I grew up in southern Indiana, and we owned two farms. I can always relate to your views on getting back to the land. My favorite Savinelli are the 67 threes. I could not stand the looks of the 320. It was just short and fat looking. Then I saw the 320 KS Eleganza! That has been my favorite of the pipes. I like the thick walls of the 320 shape, but I didn’t like the stem configuration. The Eleganza in my mind is much more beautiful. You have a blessed week, my friend. By the way, i’m SnaponJohn100. I made this new channel so that my original one would not be demonetized over tobacco and smoking.
I have watched your channel many times .. I recently am comming back into the hobby of pipe smoking and your input has been most help full .. I could go on about many things but i believe that all is need is a simple. Thank you
Thank you for your time ❤ I have really been loving my savinelli, smooth 6mm, clarks favorite. I am a sucker for a church warden, or demi-church warden stem. There is something about that shape brings me back to my Tolkien youth 🇳🇿
I just finished, I mean now i just finished ordering my first pipe, it's a savinelli avorio rusticated 606 ks.. after a long time searching, reading and watching your videos, I decided to pull the trigger. Thank you so much for your videos, I really enjoyed it. Greetings from Kuwait 🇰🇼
So glad I stumbled across your channel, I love the content, I feel like every video is meant for me. Keep up the great work mate. Kind Regards Rosco 🏴
New pipe smoker here. Bought my first pipe a little over a year ago, French made not sure of manufacturer. My experience was just ok. Six months later I bought an Italian made bent apple. Love that shape, my experience was a bit better but not fantastic. After lots of reading and videos, many of them yours I purchased a Peterson B42 bent apple system pipe. Absolutely fantastic smoke. Thank you for the content Sir!
I’m glad someone else felt the same way about the golf club on the pipe!! I may get one now lol. You should put out your own with our beautiful SC palmetto 😎
Hello and thank you keeping up the tradition, I have a 2015 606 St. Nicholas along with many other savinelli pipes, I have a couple of Trevi's I enjoy, like the 310 and 320 models. God Bless
I only have one Peterson but the rest of my pipes are Savanelli. 606 is my favorite shape but I am a 9mm smoker so I usually always buy my pipes from The Pipe Nook. Anyway great video as are all your other's. Thank you for what you do for us and much continued success with your store. Merry Christmas and God bless you and your family. Your friend Tommy
Hello! First time viewer and, now, subscriber to your wonderful channel, sir. I am returning to pipes after a 20yr hiatus from working 70-hour work weeks fitting up natural gas pipeline sets here in beautiful Tennessee up around the Ridge, the Cumberland Ridge that is. Now that I'm "semi-retired" I've got time to enjoy a briar on the porch & enough jingle in my pocket to get one of these fine looking Savinelli's w/o breaking the bank. Due to the cooler weather moving in I suddenly felt like having taste of my old favorite tobacco from my Gatlinburlier(in Gatlinburg, TN) called, Mellow Moonshine. Smooth & on the sweet side, I burn it in my old Italian 626-type Spitfire Sport by Lorenzo also purchased from my Gatlinburlier some 25yrs ago. Figured I'd look at new pipes when I came across these handsome Savinellis then, your great video. Couldn't have found a better vid or host if I had tried. Absolutely admire your style & love & respect my brothers & sisters from the South, especially S. Carolina. My family has been here in Tennessee for 300yrs cutting timber, stone & building villages since before Tennessee gained its statehood in 1796. Got lucky & married a sweet, green-eyed E. Tennessee girl born in South Carolina(she loves them boiled peanuts) & raised our son here in Mid-TN on my family's soil. My family also loves Gone With the Wind & both my dear, departed Grandmothers instilled in us a pride of our heritage regardless of what may or may not be in vogue, as you put it so well. Like my bands, Alabama & The Band with Levon Helm on drums(The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down may bring a tear to my eye). The story of the South is a bittersweet one. It's that bitter part that helps us appreciate the sweet part that much more and that is ok. So, hold your head high amid the weak-minded these days and keep being yourself, brother. I cant wait to watch all your previous vids & looking forward to your new ones already. Didn't mean to "run off at the jaw on you". Hold your family tight & have a great Thanksgiving! Til next time.
I have a number of Savinelli pipes in my collection. As you stated, they are great for people to start out with. Quality briar pipes at a reasonable price. Keep up the good work and ignore all the negativity.
I prefer the Author Pipes. I don't clinch too much, mostly I hold them. The Author is a fine holding pipe when one wants to ponder some of the more weighty subjects of life. I have more Savanelli pipes than any other brand, not counting my cobs. I have a mess of cobs which I enjoy very much as well. As far as the negative comments, be like a duck, and just let them roll off your back.
Great video, picked up a new savanelli arcobaleno rustic 111KS only yesterday after watching this video. Last night it really was everything I wanted it to be. Loved it.
Great vid… I switched from a lifetime of cigarette smoking to pipes awhile back and started with a Savinelli Trevi 626. I have a small collection going now but recently bought a Savinelli 601 and while wishing the stem was a bit longer finding it my favorite “sipping” pipe of them all so far. It burns effortless and smooth with full flavor from top to bottom with no fussing around. Any pipe that has me drawing hard or fussing with it tends to revert me back to inhaling most of it instead of sipping.
Great video Thanks I have a few Savinelli I have a Clark in the mail for Xmass. It always interested me. My favourite Savinelli is the 616 big bowl. I have two I smoke regular and a new Xmass 616. Enjoy the festive season and best wishes to you and your family
I only have a couple Savinellis-both gifts-and both fine smokers. There’s so much quality in many of the mid-priced brands. The differences between pipe smokers make this such an interesting hobby. I have a 320 and enjoy it because I find it so easy to clench. That big stem just fits my teeth. Look forward to more videos along this line.
Back in ‘73, I bought my first Savinelli, my best pipe at the time, a 114 Deluxe Milano. I still have it. It’s a good pipe and has been well maintained. I’ve always liked their bits, slim and trim and easily clenchable. Their styling is wonderful. Recently I picked up a couple of Punto Oros, also good pipes, shorter overall than my 114 and favorites for driving. My long term favorites are by Peterson and I add to that collection frequently. Both companies make good pipes, reliable quality and good design. If there’s any difference, I’d say Savinelli has better wood but that’s very subjective. There’s a good video on Savinelli’s wood resource that bears watching. I’m quite happy with both these factory pipes and see little need to spend more money…both companies have good high end pipes. Good presentation, thanks. 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

Father. Starting over out of state. Not complaining just explaining! I’ve got three corn cobs at the moment which I thoroughly enjoy it but I cannot wait for the day when I get my hands on a fine Savinelli 🙏
Rossi pipes are the poor man’s Savinelli is my understanding. I haven’t yet experienced either one so I can’t speak on their quality.
This is a lesson I learned with cigars. Sometimes the $6 cigar will out smoke a $20 cigar. I started pipe smoking with a house blend and $4 corn cob pipe from the local brick and mortar
I'm up to 6 Savinellis now. Love them all!

Came for the pipes, stayed for the accent, glad I did because of the informative content. You've got my subscription, good work Allen.
For some reason the first time I started watching your video, I was attracted by the beautiful music and introduction video. Nice put together!
Thank you for all your videos, I enjoy all of them, and I salutes you all From Puerto Rico, Caribbean Island, aleyas learning.

There are always naysayers. To each their own. As for me: excellent video and it's nice to sit back and enjoy the advise and enthusiasm of a Gentleman. Best to you and yours Sir!
I have never smoked a pipe, but I love this content. Thanks for sharing brother.
New favorite channel! Excellent presentation. Thank you.
Hello Alan. I very much appreciate you sharing your thoughts and experiences. It’s sad to think we have trolls on the YTPC. All the best from Scotland 🏴. Garry
Being a gentleman and , a man of class I thank you sir. For being just that.
I’m looking to buy my first “real” pipe. I’ve had a very cheap drug store pipe and it was delicious but smoked terribly. Thank you for making this video and introducing me to these beautiful pipes.
This was another fantastic video. I have been searching for a channel like this since we lost matches. Well done and please keep the content comming.
Thank you for your excellent content! I do so enjoy your channel.
Haters are going to hate. The larger your channel gets the more negativity will come your way. Keep doing great content, focus on the love and ignore the hate my friend. Great video.
truly love this channel and your southern hospitality and manners merry Christmas from your friends here in Tennessee happy piping
Great, super well made and inspirational video.
Regards from Sweden
I just happened upon your channel, sir, and have enjoyed it immensely. I just received a Savinelli 313 Roma today. I look forward to browsing your store for future purchases.
Just getting started in the pipe smoking hobby. After getting started on cigars for a bit, I came across your channel and decided to give pipe smoking a try. Definitely a bit more of a challenge, but I enjoy it very much. Just picked up 4 more pipes today at an antique shop. They all are in fantastic shape. I enjoy the old stuff much more than the new. Not afraid of using something that has been used before me. It has a history and I like that. I just want to thank you for the way you present your content. You are the only channel in the community that I watch on a regular basis.
I myself have a Savinelli Churchwarden. It has been my lone pipe for 36 years. It has developed a somewhat disquieting patina to the stem over the years, but it is a thing of beauty. I’ve always adored him.
I call him Carlo.
Thank you very much for this wonderful video. My Savinelli pipes are among my favorite pipes.
Pipe smoking is a great sign of erudition, thinking and knowing how to enjoy life. Your videos are a great testimony to living life to the fullest.
Watching your videos is what got me started smoking my pipes. I love listening to your wisdom. I grew up in southern Indiana, and we owned two farms. I can always relate to your views on getting back to the land. My favorite Savinelli are the 67 threes. I could not stand the looks of the 320. It was just short and fat looking. Then I saw the 320 KS Eleganza! That has been my favorite of the pipes. I like the thick walls of the 320 shape, but I didn’t like the stem configuration. The Eleganza in my mind is much more beautiful. You have a blessed week, my friend. By the way, i’m SnaponJohn100. I made this new channel so that my original one would not be demonetized over tobacco and smoking.
A sober, thoughtful presentation delivered with style and clarity. I sipped your video as you suggested we sip the taste of a pipe. Well done!
This is the kind of content I enjoy. Very informative and educational. Excellent topic.
I have many Savinelli in my collection. My favorite shape is the 209. Great pipes.
Love your channel BTW
I have watched your channel many times .. I recently am comming back into the hobby of pipe smoking and your input has been most help full .. I could go on about many things but i believe that all is need is a simple.
Thank you
Great video, New pipe smoker and haven't pulled the trigger on a savinelli (yet)!!! Keep the video's coming!!!
Cheers from Canada! 🥃🥃🇨🇦
Thank you for your time ❤
I have really been loving my savinelli, smooth 6mm, clarks favorite. I am a sucker for a church warden, or demi-church warden stem. There is something about that shape brings me back to my Tolkien youth 🇳🇿
I just finished, I mean now i just finished ordering my first pipe, it's a savinelli avorio rusticated 606 ks.. after a long time searching, reading and watching your videos, I decided to pull the trigger.
Thank you so much for your videos, I really enjoyed it.
Greetings from Kuwait 🇰🇼
So glad I stumbled across your channel, I love the content, I feel like every video is meant for me. Keep up the great work mate. Kind Regards Rosco 🏴
Thanks for being you, I love your spirit!
New pipe smoker here. Bought my first pipe a little over a year ago, French made not sure of manufacturer. My experience was just ok. Six months later I bought an Italian made bent apple. Love that shape, my experience was a bit better but not fantastic. After lots of reading and videos, many of them yours I purchased a Peterson B42 bent apple system pipe. Absolutely fantastic smoke. Thank you for the content Sir!
Been watching some of your videos for a couple months now. Glad I found ya and you have a new subscriber. Thank you for the content.
So funny, I haven't bought the Bing for the exact same reason. Thanks for a good video! I lived in North Augusta for 2 years. Great state.
I’ve really been enjoying my Savinelli Roma 704 and 702 lately, great pipes, great content. 👍
I’m glad someone else felt the same way about the golf club on the pipe!! I may get one now lol. You should put out your own with our beautiful SC palmetto 😎
Love the videos! Thanks for making such information so accessible
This channel was a great find! Excellent video!
Great Video, I have 1 Savinelli and its just great. Thank you for the tips and advice.
Hello and thank you keeping up the tradition, I have a 2015 606 St. Nicholas along with many other savinelli pipes, I have a couple of Trevi's I enjoy, like the 310 and 320 models. God Bless
I bought myself two Savinellis this year and smoked them both during my Christmas vacation, including a St. Nicholas 626 on Christmas Day.
I’ve just picked up a pipe and found this channel very informative.
Thanks for the videos Merry Christmas !
I only have one Peterson but the rest of my pipes are Savanelli. 606 is my favorite shape but I am a 9mm smoker so I usually always buy my pipes from The Pipe Nook. Anyway great video as are all your other's. Thank you for what you do for us and much continued success with your store. Merry Christmas and God bless you and your family. Your friend Tommy
Hello! First time viewer and, now, subscriber to your wonderful channel, sir.
I am returning to pipes after a 20yr hiatus from working 70-hour work weeks fitting up natural gas pipeline sets here in beautiful Tennessee up around the Ridge, the Cumberland Ridge that is.
Now that I'm "semi-retired" I've got time to enjoy a briar on the porch & enough jingle in my pocket to get one of these fine looking Savinelli's w/o breaking the bank.
Due to the cooler weather moving in I suddenly felt like having taste of my old favorite tobacco from my Gatlinburlier(in Gatlinburg, TN) called, Mellow Moonshine. Smooth & on the sweet side, I burn it in my old Italian 626-type Spitfire Sport by Lorenzo also purchased from my Gatlinburlier some 25yrs ago.
Figured I'd look at new pipes when I came across these handsome Savinellis then, your great video. Couldn't have found a better vid or host if I had tried.
Absolutely admire your style & love & respect my brothers & sisters from the South, especially S. Carolina.
My family has been here in Tennessee for 300yrs cutting timber, stone & building villages since before Tennessee gained its statehood in 1796. Got lucky & married a sweet, green-eyed E. Tennessee girl born in South Carolina(she loves them boiled peanuts) & raised our son here in Mid-TN on my family's soil.
My family also loves Gone With the Wind & both my dear, departed Grandmothers instilled in us a pride of our heritage regardless of what may or may not be in vogue, as you put it so well. Like my bands, Alabama & The Band with Levon Helm on drums(The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down may bring a tear to my eye).
The story of the South is a bittersweet one. It's that bitter part that helps us appreciate the sweet part that much more and that is ok.
So, hold your head high amid the weak-minded these days and keep being yourself, brother.
I cant wait to watch all your previous vids & looking forward to your new ones already.
Didn't mean to "run off at the jaw on you". Hold your family tight & have a great Thanksgiving!
Til next time.
I have a number of Savinelli pipes in my collection. As you stated, they are great for people to start out with. Quality briar pipes at a reasonable price. Keep up the good work and ignore all the negativity.
Yes great video my friend! I am also going to look into getting one of these pipes. You had a lot of great points about this brand also.
Thank you very much !
I prefer the Author Pipes. I don't clinch too much, mostly I hold them. The Author is a fine holding pipe when one wants to ponder some of the more weighty subjects of life. I have more Savanelli pipes than any other brand, not counting my cobs. I have a mess of cobs which I enjoy very much as well. As far as the negative comments, be like a duck, and just let them roll off your back.
Great video, picked up a new savanelli arcobaleno rustic 111KS only yesterday after watching this video. Last night it really was everything I wanted it to be. Loved it.
Great vid… I switched from a lifetime of cigarette smoking to pipes awhile back and started with a Savinelli Trevi 626. I have a small collection going now but recently bought a Savinelli 601 and while wishing the stem was a bit longer finding it my favorite “sipping” pipe of them all so far. It burns effortless and smooth with full flavor from top to bottom with no fussing around. Any pipe that has me drawing hard or fussing with it tends to revert me back to inhaling most of it instead of sipping.
I love your knowledge and your encouragement.
You have an outstanding and informative channel.
Great video
Thanks
I have a few Savinelli
I have a Clark in the mail for Xmass. It always interested me.
My favourite Savinelli is the 616 big bowl. I have two I smoke regular and a new Xmass 616.
Enjoy the festive season and best wishes to you and your family
I only have a couple Savinellis-both gifts-and both fine smokers. There’s so much quality in many of the mid-priced brands. The differences between pipe smokers make this such an interesting hobby. I have a 320 and enjoy it because I find it so easy to clench. That big stem just fits my teeth. Look forward to more videos along this line.
Back in ‘73, I bought my first Savinelli, my best pipe at the time, a 114 Deluxe Milano. I still have it. It’s a good pipe and has been well maintained. I’ve always liked their bits, slim and trim and easily clenchable. Their styling is wonderful. Recently I picked up a couple of Punto Oros, also good pipes, shorter overall than my 114 and favorites for driving. My long term favorites are by Peterson and I add to that collection frequently. Both companies make good pipes, reliable quality and good design. If there’s any difference, I’d say Savinelli has better wood but that’s very subjective. There’s a good video on Savinelli’s wood resource that bears watching. I’m quite happy with both these factory pipes and see little need to spend more money…both companies have good high end pipes. Good presentation, thanks. 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
Another great video. Thanks Alan!
