[QUOTE="Pipe'n Prof, post: 603640, member: 3101"] I'm not aware of many brands that advertise "fill-free." Even Dunhill, which purportedly has never used fills, has never to my knowledge advertised their pipes as "fill free." If someone saw a fill on a Dunhill they just purchased, though, they may be a bit disappointed. I certainly would. I am making no formal complaint to anyone, just sharing information so that other pipe smokers can make an informed choice when spending significant amounts of money. There is a thread in another widely visited pipe forum that discusses "high quality pipes and fills," and the majority of people chiming in that thread expect there to be no fills in a $200+ pipe. I think there are a lot of knowledgeable pipe smokers who make that assumption. That's why I shared my story. The assumption is entirely wrong when it comes to Savinellis. The assumption is correct to my knowledge when it comes to, say, Dunhill, Castello, or Radice (just three factory brands off the top of my head that I have never heard mention of using fills). If a $330 pipe from any of those competing brands can be reliably bought without a fill, why would one think there would be fills in Savinellis at the same price point? [/QUOTE]
