[QUOTE="Pipe'n Prof, post: 603637, member: 3101"] Yes, my intention is never to hurt someone's business. And in this case, it is certainly not to badmouth SP (I just ordered 2 pipes from them this week). Rather, it is to provide future buyers with information, information that was not available to me but would have been very useful when making a decision. Many pipers don't care about fills, so in that case, I would say Savinellis are great. Buy one. They have always been incredible smokers for me, and I think their lower end pipes are a tremendous value. To present Punto Oros as a higher end line, though, to me is just not being entirely truthful. I can buy a lower end smooth pipe from Savinelli, such as a Sienna, in the same shape and finish for $115 (1/3 the price of a Savinelli Punto Oro Classic). If both the Punto Oro and Sienna have fills, what really is the difference? A hand cut stem? They are both likely to be good smokers, and they both have fills -- multiple fills in my experience. Knowing what I know now, I'd take 3 Siennas any day over one Punto Oro, or better yet, save my $300 and buy a Radice Clear, which has no fills. Buyers should know this information, so they can make an informed decision with their money. [/QUOTE]
