Howdy ya'll! I just started smoking pipes about a month ago and currently have a few Missouri Meerschaum cobs and their ozark mountain. They are all enjoyable smokes but I'd like to take a step up. I'm looking to get my hands on a savinelli which seem to be awesome for their price range and am very excited about it, however I hear just about any pipe within a beginners price range has a fill or two. Having never seen a fill in person, what should I be looking for? Is it blatantly obvious to see or will i need to search for it? I'm not overly concerned with fills as I see pipes as a tool more than a fashion statement. On that note, briar is "fireproof" to an extent and i know its bound to happen at one point or another but I'd really like to keep my rim(s) in good shape, does briar behave differently to a flame as opposed to a cob or maple (what the ozark mountain is made of)? Thank you all for dealing with my newbie questions, although I'm sure more are to come. I've been perusing the forum a lot lately and everyone seems to really nice and helpful so I figured I'd turn to you all. Thanks again!
