Today I’ll share the story of how I decided to purchase this Savinelli 601 Black Rusticated Churchwarden pipe while enjoying some Capstan Blue, and show comparisons with the Missouri Meerschaum Cobbit Shire pipe.

Fun fact: in German, churchwarden is called "Lesepfeife" (Pipe for reading). Although if you ask my lady, it's more of a pipe for watching movies. Or solving puzzles. :)

Hey Kevin, you look pretty natural smoking that churchwarden. One time when I was hanging up a hummingbird feeder I heard a buzzing by my ear and I thought it was a bumble bee. I waved my hand at it to make it move away. It turned out to be a hummingbird who backed up flying against my hand and then followed it right back. It was a male and he sat there beating in my ear until I finished putting it up and climbed back down the ladder. He decided he was going to be first to the feeder. Luckily it was a gentle wave of my hand. I would have felt terrible otherwise. Have a good one.

I'm looking for a "Tolkien" pipe and teetering between the Savinelli 601 & the 921. I like how the 921 looks, but you mentioned that the 601 has the most curved stem of all the Savinelli Churchwardens. That curve will make it comfortable to hold and smoke. Thank you for the detailed review and helping me decide. I will definitely go with the 601. I hope you and your family have a Merry Christmas and a Blessed New Year.

Greetings from the food basket of England, Royal Tunbridge Wells, in Kent! I just ordered two cobs, the gent and the shire from MM. Are cobs suited to any style of tobacco? Loose, plug etc? What do you (and the pipes) prefer?

@hobbitonpiper 2 жыл бұрын

Great cob choices! Many prefer to smoke their aromatics in cobs because they are more resistant to “ghosting”, many also enjoy smoking their over the counter / drugstore codger blends in cobs as well. Really though, cobs can smoke any tobacco just fine. As you experience more pipes you will form your own personal preferences :)

Great to see you here! You’ll likely end up with both: a mid length option and a full length option. You’ll probably find yourself reaching for the mid length more often but then reaching for the full length when you really have time to sit and relax and do nothing else. Both are great!

@hobbitonpiper 2 жыл бұрын

@@UkeDad great question Bob. This Savinelli 601 churchwarden is going to last a lifetime, but it has a less authentic middle earth feel in comparison to the MacQueen Ranger. The MacQueen has a much more authentic middle earth feel due to its wood stem construction, but that real wood stem will naturally degrade a bit over time….great care must be taken in keeping it clean and being diligent not to bite that wood stem. So, the choice is yours, and prices are actually similar :)

A fine story about the Savinelli 601, Kevin. It is a great looking pipe that the all black finish sets off quite nicely. lol I almost didn't get to your story - I had to linger over that steak dinner before moving on 😍 Churchwardens are a special part of a pipe collection. They look back to the days when clay pipes were the order of the day when men gathered at the inns and taverns to share a pint, a pipe, and a good story. Here's one for you to search for - and probably add to your wish list IMP Meerschaum » Smooth Bent Apple with Silver (with Case and Churchwarden Stem). I'm guessing that it would appeal to you. Hummingbirds are amazing, but, yes, aggressively territorial. Be well, stay safe, and keep rockin' down the road of awesome - peace

It really depends on my mood. This Sav is excellent. But for LOTR authenticity, sometimes I want a wooden stem like this one: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/nrxnec2S2N2lYXk.htmlsi=9v0edp5sx4Qzp2Hf This series is the ultimate tho: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/j7qSiK2rvLvDlIU.htmlsi=fF0fyp68N_Sclp19

Thank you for your input. The Vaun would be great but it’s a bit out of my current price range. I think I’m leaning more toward the Sav for sheer smoking enjoyment over the more LOTR authentic Mac.

I love my Savinelli 601 churchwarden with some Capstan blue! I just got into pipes a couple months ago and I'm really enjoying them so far. I've been a cigar smoker for a while and currently have over 1000 cigars in my humidor but the past 2 months I've smoked nothing but pipes as I try to learn the art. My biggest complaint is a bowl just doesn't last long enough lol. I'm used to smoking 2 or 3 cigars back to back at 1-2 hours each... so a 30-45 minute bowl just leaves me wanting more. I picked up a Rossi Lucca 8320EX just to get a bigger bowl and it's probably my favorite pipe right now.

The 320 shape is one of my very favorites…stay tuned :) My advice to you is to load and enjoy a big bowl, and then reload and enjoy again! :)

@hobbitonpiper 7 ай бұрын

If you are talking about gurgle, slow way down and sip the pipe. Smoking too fast causes excessive steam and moisture to build up making for a “wet” smoke. That being said, if the pipe was drilled improperly it could be the cause, but that’s unlikely with a Savinelli factory pipe.
