    Savinelli or artisan pipe

    Well, here are some links to each. The artisan pipe is not estate, it’s also new. Please note- I am aware the Savinelli is cheaper, etc. but I’m not interested in price/value here so much as just which is likely just a better and more comfortable pipe. Artisan pipe...
