Nomenclature: SAVINELLI, BALANZONE, 320 KS, MADE IN ITALY + Gold Color S Shield Logo on stem top.
Here’s the 2nd (and only left) mint condition Savinelli 320 KS Balanzone I acquired ! As far as I could find, this series is sold out at all the big stores. I don’t know why, but I’ve had unusual luck finding these the last couple months and it never happens typically.
The 320 KS is without a doubt among the most popular shapes out there today with its chubby, bold shape and wide chamber, the Author is a must try for almost any pipe smoker. It’s drilled to accept a 9mm filter as well, a far less common find than their typical 6mm filters and usually adds $20-25 more to the cost of the pipe.
This Balanzone gives a nice black and white theme with a very cool pattern on the shank end. I like the look of the Savinelli S shield logo in gold on the top of the stem. Normally, I don’t really pay notice but it stuck out against the white stem and looks great.
SmokingPipes has a description I put below of this as they can offer another description and info of this pipe.
This pipe is mint and has no damage. Even the gold S shield on the stem is crisp with no wear. Only signs in chamber that it’s been smoked and that chamber is very clean.
The pipe has been cleaned inside and out, gently buffed with very fine White Diamond and freshly waxed with block carnauba, finally hand buffed with a soft cloth. It’s fully ready to smoke out of the box. - Peter
SP’S DESCRIPTION OF THE 320 & BALANZONE SERIES:
“Savinelli's "320 KS" is a thoroughly Italian take on the classic Author shape, pairing a plump, well-rounded bowl to an equally robust shank-and-stem combination. It's a properly full-bodied rendition, featuring soft, supple curves throughout its hearty proportions and bold, masculine lines. The "320 KS" is, in essence, a more substantial, muscular take on the Italian marque's other Author design, the "321." Reassuringly stout in hand, and housing an impressively broad chamber, it's the perfect pipe to sit back and relax with — the epitome of a comfort pipe and considered a defining, signature shape among Savinelli's portfolio.
Savinelli's Balanzone series celebrates the Italian Carnival and the masked characters associated with the festivities. Balanzone is a Doctor of Law and a caricature of a Bolognese lawyer. The character traditionally wears a black jacket and coat, a Bolognese hat, a white collar and cuffs, and a black toga. To mimic the appearance of Balanzone's dress, Savinelli has fitted their distinctive Author shape, the "320 KS", to a white acrylic mouthpiece accented with a wavy black band. Additionally, the line's "320 KS" is offered in either a natural smooth finish or a jet-black rustication.”
Review all photos and dimensions carefully prior to purchasing. I take pride in my pipes and all are ready to smoke. - P

*If the pipe comes with an original box and / or pouch, I will certainly mention it in the description and usually shown in photos. Otherwise, it is for the pipe only, though I do package every one with a generic sock / pouch.
PACKAGING:
I’m sure I take more time than almost everyone in packaging and I do not spare any expense. Each pipe takes me 10-15 minutes to pack. I’ve yet to hear of any pipe arrive damaged. With few exceptions, my pipes are always shipped as one piece. It requires larger boxes and more materials but the most famous pipe makers insist it’s better during shipping for climate acclimation and not having pipes apart for too long.
» You get what you pay for.
At a minimum, I do everything possible to make sure the pipe is at its best and packaged well. All pipes are carefully inspected, cleaned, gently buffed, waxed with Carnauba and the stems are hand polished and oiled as needed. For a decade, I’ve put all I have into these pipes, packaging and more. I really enjoy it and my fellow hobbyists.

Pipes are almost always shipped as one piece. This is far better for the pipe, particularly with climate changes during shipping.
