I recently bought a Savinelli estate and really enjoy how it smokes. I began researching other Italian makers and am interested in Ascorti. They seem to be much less prevalent on the estate market than other makes and it's even more difficult to find smooth finishes (my preference).
In my experience, I can usually find decent Peterson, Stanwell, and Savinelli estates for around $50-$60 on eBay. I have struggled with Ascorti though on eBay, although I have found some on other estate pipe sites for under $100.
Does anybody have any experience with Ascorti? Love em, hate em? High value, over-priced? Worth owning one or should I look at other Italian makers or get another Sav?
