Nice pipes Charlie! Is the Miele a shape 642? I like the lines which somewhat remind me of my 320.
Thank you. Good eye, it's a 642. Your Savinelli's an EX, that must mean it's a little bigger. Put up a pic of yours if you get a chance, I'd like to see it.
Here is the 320EX Trevi on a hickory wood slice and walnut table. It was one of my most recent new pipe purchases excluding cobs, since the 1980's. It was a good choice, though smoked a little hot at first. I've since thought about a prince shape like the 315, but I'm leaning towards the 642. I guess it's the more apple shape.
Beauty, you are pretty stable with your collecting if the trevi is one of the only nice pipes you've bought in fourty years! People rave about their authors, it's pretty similar to the apple, bigger shank. Nice picture!
Thanks Charlie. Well, I quit pipes until 2015 to 2017 when I went back to them as an offshoot of cigars. Then back around 2021 or 22, when I decided to spend that cigar money on something more economical. Now, I doubt that will change. I'm mostly into estates, but wanted a new one to compare. I admire your collection as well as all the others people post. There's a certain fascination with pipes and how/what drives peoples collections, and I like learning. Did a lot of reading and talked to some pipe shop guys before getting the 320.
