Hi Nathan, great video. I too have been enjoying a bit of this same blend. I managed to jar the majority of it but I treated myself to 2 oz. of it and it is good. Similar to your pipe I opted to smoke this blend on my Savinelli Roma 127. The aroma of maple is pleasant but not overwhelming when lit. The pleasantly light smokiness and a hint of something spicy, grassy and occasionally the cigar leaf smokiness mixes all very well. Somewhere halfway through the bowl the sweet maple disappears and the different tobacco leafs come forward. Although I am enjoying these few bowls, with cellaring time this blend will be a joy to smoke next year. I hope everyone is having a pleasant week, feliz humos! Best, Charlie

Pipe is beautiful, I prefer the bent pipe but that stem is perfect on that pipe.

Glad you enjoy the blend Nathan. I agree with your assessment, it is very smooth with the maple not overpowering. The Savinelli line is by far my favorite pipes.

My dream pipe is the Savenelli Meile 316 KS. I keep dropping hints to my wife but she’s not having it. Lol Someday maybe.
@TheVapingPiper2 ай бұрын
Nice pipe is the Melie 316. Some call it the honey series as the stem is a rich golden honey look. Well, something to look forward😊

100% agree with you Maple Shadows by Sutliff is not truly an aromatic...but is a perfect blend for fall pipe smoking.

Such a cool looking tin. As you say, our tins here are awful, big silly warning, altered names to make them sound less attractive. Although it usually ends up in a mason jar in a drawer to be fair, but still, it would be nice to have what the yanks have over there! Lovely new pipe as well, think I fancy a straight billiard next, but probably the sav 106, with the smaller bowl. Good to watch your videos as usual, thanks!

I agree Tom. Here in the UK they don’t separate cigarettes from pipe tobacco and that is plain ignorance and lack of understanding what pipe smoking is all about. What a shame. I personally love pipe tobacco tin art, the way it was years ago when common sense & tradition was the norm.

exactly that yes, I was chatting with the manager at smokeking when I was there recently just before the budget announcement, and we were having a moan about how us pipe smokers are tarred with the same brush as the cigarette smokers, and it’s not fair! We joked that we needed a second coming of winston Churchill to champion pipes and cigars for us! All the best, looking forward to the next video.

Another beauty from Savinelli Nathan. I’ve a few myself now the latest being the Bings Favourite in smooth finish 6mm a longer pipe but smokes burleys and Virginias perfectly. Happy smokes Martin 😊

Thanks Martin. The Savinelli Bing’s favourite is gorgeous. Enjoy it

Both beautiful pipes. I really love savinelli. Not a huge aromatic guy but I do enjoy a good maple. I missed out on this one, but hope they don't again next year.

Great pipe. Do you know if it will take a standard 9mm filter like a Perlman cardboard filter ??? I see yours has the balsa wood filter installed. Thanks.
@TheVapingPiper2 ай бұрын
I don’t use the filter you mentioned but I use the Vauen 9mm standard filter. Btw right before I smoked the pipe in the video I swapped the balsa filter with the above mentioned filter. Peterson charcoal 9mm also fits perfectly so I assume all 9mm filters would fit this pipe.

Hi Nathan, how many pipes is good for one day/ and how many you smoke? Thank you
@TheVapingPiper2 ай бұрын
@Cigardoo. No simple answer to the first question you ask. It is so personal & very much individual. I know pipe smokers who smoke a bowl twice daily, morning & evenings. On the other hand I know some who only smoke at the weekends. So it is not a question of good or bad it is rather how many bowls of pipe per day / week do you feel satisfied. As for me, It very much depends on my work schedule, sometime I smoke once or twice during the week a bowl in the early morning in the garden or my office or occasionally late evening to unwind but I particularly enjoy my weekend morning smoking sessions
