[QUOTE="Pipe'n Prof, post: 606560, member: 3101"] Smoking some Bayou Morning in an old Savinelli Punto Oro 101. Love the red stain on this old boy. Blast is decent too. What I’ve noticed with these old Savinellis, though, is that the vulcanite stems are close to impossible to keep shiny. I suspect they used a cheaper form of vulcanite because I don’t have the same difficulties with my 1960s and 1970s Dunhill vulcanite stems. I inquired a couple of times with artisan makers and Savinelli itself about the cost of making acrylic replica stems for these, but in each case the cost of doing so outweighs the cost of the pipe itself. So I just live with it, but I can’t help seeing an ugly old stem every time I smoke em. [ATTACH type="full"]17507[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
