And it's freaking lovely! I'm stoked! Mindblown even! I was expecting it to arrive on May 2nd, and when I checked tracking last night it was in Chicago after originating in Canada. This morning as I was getting ready for work, it arrived here in Fort Worth Texas. I only had time to open the box and oggle it for a few minutes before leaving for work. But now I'm getting it ready for a late night smoke.
Trying to get a photo without my cellphone flash washing out the color is difficult.

Wind's picking up outside, possibly a storm moving in, I have the Sav loaded up with Black Frigate for it's maiden voyage. Happy smokes everyone ::

Savinelli always make a perfect job. The interior of the bowl looks pretty dark/reddish, almost like the stained outside. Or is it just the camera?

Nope. Pretty sure it's stained. I find it funny how when someone mentions dip staining with Peterson all the anti-Petes chime in. But mention Savinelli doing the same (as I have) and you get crickets. Here's proof. Regardless, it's smoking quite well. All I'm tasting is Black Frigate. Gets a little warmer than I prefer (so far) but not terribly so.

That grain is insane, I bet it would have been graded a 0 if it was all the way around. The blast is also very cool. I would think it will cool down once you get a nice cake in it.

That's a very good looking pipe, there Anthony! That grain looks even better in your pics than in the first post you made about it. Love the mix of smooth and texture. I like how smooth that plateaux is as well. Some I see are too sharp for me, so seeing that smoothed down a bit looks great! Hope she smokes like a dream! Enjoy the heck out of it! ::

Oh, Lord, Anthony, Anthony, Anthony, you're killing me! If it weren't for the fact that I've got a fabuloso Preben wedged in my teeth with my 3rd favorite blend I'd probably have to kill myself. }
Enjoy, my brother! You know me -- any Sav is a good Sav, & an Autograph is worth your soul!

You could probably trade your soul for an Autograph on ebay.
Several years ago some dude was selling his soul on ebay. I've always wondered how that worked out for him.

Hah! Near my house is a shopping/restaurant area called "The Crossroads". It has everything but a tobacco shop and big box stores.

Well regardless if it broke me or not, it was well worth it. I'll be loading it full of Black Frigate as soon as I get home tonight to smoke again while I watch Game Of Thrones. ::

Oh no... it won't be warm in Texas during the summer. It's going to be more akin to an oven turned on high with the door open to heat things up a bit more in hell :rofl:
