I agree with the notion that it fits well in the hand
I have a few
I never clench
It keeps cool easily, and I find most any blend can produce a fine smoke in a 320
Looks good to me as well
But I am no 320 fan-boy
Every so often I will grab one

Agreed with the others...feels great in hand, less so clenched.
I have one but if I got another similar pipe, it would probably be a 321 instead.

If you were good at whittling, this pipe
is hidden inside that Savinelli 320.
The bowl capacity and the general bend, etc. is there.

Just got a smooth Hercules 320. I agree that it feels great in hand - and that is how I smoke! So perfect fit for me, especially with its thick cool walls which is another characteristic I appreciate in a pipe. Furthermore, I find myself often drawn to Savinelli designs - which I didn't notice until I found myself with a few of late.
I call this squat monster The Pug after a remark by Christine when she saw it - "cute in a pug-ugly way." I like the way it looks, and a pipe's clenchability means nothing to me; If I need both hands for more than a minute, I lay down my pipe anyway.
I wanted to start a Savinelli thread, but I'm that New Guy - that guy who comes along, full of enthusiasm, short on knowledge, and plasters stuff all over the forums. That's me on PSF right now, and I know some folks who've been around awhile don't always care to see that sort of NG. So at least I searched for an existing thread this time, so gimme a little credit for that.
Now, I won't post pics here at this time as they are already sufficiently plastered across your screens. A list of my Savinelli's thus far:
Hercules Smooth (320 EX) - The Pug has a big bowl.
Quercia (115 JU) - Monster (from a MikeDennison remark) beyond big bowl, love it
Leonardo da Vinci Mona Lisa Smooth (A) - unsmoked estate, very nice, not yet lit
Samanda Old Briar Smooth Bulldog (510 KS) (by Savinelli) - very nice smoking
Roma (310 KS) - a bent (stem) poker, best smoker among my pokers and cherrywoods
Several other pipes acquired recently would not have been had I found Savinelli sooner, so I guess I can be labeled a fanboy. I've also got my eyes on a Moretti or two because of their design/appearance. And I'd certainly have bought the Grabow Big Pipe under any circumstances - even if I'd hit the lottery. Probably would have missed three other estate pipes I like, though.
If there is no Savinelli thread for showing images of our pipes, I hope someone will begin one, or maybe let this thread become such.

Forget the past for it no more holds sway;
forget the future once you thought so bright.
