I'm not one for the dry system pipes. I had a pete system it still gurgled and stunk like a mofo. They are nice looking pipes though.

They come with balsa filters that actually work quite well. Plus, imho, you cannot compare the Sav system pipe to the Petes. Savinelli, while being a mid-grade pipe is much better than your average Pete.
Also the Sav system pipe is easy to break apart and clean mid-smoke.

Isn't that a little dangerous to open a pipe up mid-smoke?

I never dug not being able to pass a cleaner, and quickly took out the stinger/condensor in my Tsuge. Smokes dryer, and IMHO, better, and it will pass a cleaner during the smoke.

Not with these. They are similar to military push bits in that the tenon has a slight conical shape and slides into the shank. Very easy and safe to break apart while warm. I also happen to think that not breaking apart a pipe mid smoke may be an old wives tale, but that is just my opinion.

Hmm. Interesting. Maybe I'm just paranoid? lol

I do know that most loose stems fix themselves over time regardless, so it's really not that much of a worry...I'd be more worried about the pressures on the wood and the various temperature fluxes that happen over the length of that stem.

As far as this thread goes, I think Savinelli is a better company than Stanwell.
