Re: Punto Oro Gold?
an obvious thing: rustication is just about always WAY cheaper.

initially I would agree with you, but some of the super expensive ones are rusticated.

Re: Punto Oro Gold?
I'm really close to getting one... torn between the Dublin and the 316 Author...

And they've a free savinelli baccy coupon with the pipes, very tempting indeed.

Well I got the Sav Author Shape(316) instead. I got it in at work today. This sucker is Light light light. It's nice looking pipe with red in the dark sandblast(rustication?) I love it. I quickly loaded it up with Hal o the Wynd and let me tell you, it is great. It definitly needs to be broken in, but I can tell with a propper regiment of tobacco, it will be one heckuva smoker.



the Josh is happy

Yeah, It was listed as Punto Oro Gold on the pipesandcigars site, but the actual pipe is marked simply Punto Oro.

Actually, I believe Punto Oro translates to "Gold Spot" in Italian, or perhaps "Gold Dot".

Re: Punto Oro Gold?
That kind of reminds me of a chain restaurant that notes that a particular burger comes with "melted queso cheese". I asked the waitress "Since "queso cheese" means "cheese cheese", why don't they follow it by saying "on a 1/2lb patty patty"". I'm pretty sure that she spit in my second beer.

FWIW, Savinelli only refers to it as a "Punto Oro" (Gold Dot)
