First off, thank you for posting this. I know my viewing is years late, but it is still relative. The point I would like to make, respectfully, concerning the ytpc, is the herd mentality. We are always on the lookout for good new pipes and tobaccos, so we all take recommendations seriously. I remember one video giving rave reviews on the 320. Before long, there were several other presenters who hurriedly bought one and jumped on the 320 bandwagon. So, this pipe shape caught on like wildfire and before you know it, dozens of presenters were all showing off their 320s. I have never followed the crowd simply for the sake of following. Savinelli is a fine company, but a majority of their pipes are middle of the line factory pipes. That is a fact and that is all you should expect from a 320. As for pre carbonized bowls, I have never had an issue. I have been smoking a pipe for almost 50 years. I have had many with and without precarbonization. Little difference in the end. Also, gurgling would come from your choice of tobacco and your smoking habits. Yours do not match up with the 320s bowl size and shape. It takes some years to figure all this out. When a pipe size and shape works for you, you should stick to that when purchasing new pipes. Don't just follow the herd. This is all said, hopefully, in an informative, way. I do not mean to talk down to anyone. Take care.

Right now I'm torn between the Roma 320 and the Oscar tiger rustic 673. I like the wood grain look at the top of the bowl. love both styles but leaning towards the 673 because I like the color of the bit somewhat better.

Is that a Yamaha GROOVESYNTH?

I bought one and it just smokes great

sandpaper, and everything is ok, as far as perecarbonated pipes

Got a 623 that was carbonized . Bottom 1/3 of the smoke was nasty. Took about 1/2 dozen bowls to clean up.

Man, four minutes in and you're still whining about carbonization? Oh boy. And gurgling - what's up with that!? How about adjusting your smoking style and tobacco? Never had _any_ of those issues and absolutely love all my 320s. Great smokers right from the start and excellent value for the money.

Maybe consider a more delicate and less frequent tamping protocol man. Just saying, thanks for the review.

That does not look like a Savinelli... looks more like a Rossi????

Must admit my experience has been different, I have never detected any strange flavors, I only smoke English blends in mine, but to me that shouldn't make a difference either. I have always wondered if different batches of briar can produce different tastes. I also have only smoked it with the balsa wood filters. My tortuga gurgles from time to time but the 320 is my best smoking pipe.

I believe the SETA series does not have that pre-carbonized bowl. I know exactly what you mean by this pipe tends to have a strange flavor at first and it smokes hot. Nice review.

Maybe pull out the insert 🤔

Great review! Ive also noticed it to be less "gurgly" w/o the filter. Smoked great off the line and even better after break in. Very enjoyable

I bought a 320 and have never had a "bad taste" nor "gurgling" (I use the filter), only a long, cool smoke.

Nice looking apple shaped Savinelli. Cheers, Don Carlos

Just broke in mine and it is a nasty taste. Used Carter Hall (entire pkg.) to get rid of that awful taste. But once done,mmmm good smoker.⭐️🤐

it looks like a Rossi 8320 and not a Savineli 320

The only problem encountered with this pipe is that it is difficult to grips with the teeth, because the shape of the stem
