I really like that Savinelli 616. That's one of my favorite shaped pipes. I had two of them, but recently sold one, so I just own one now, and it's a regular smoker for me.
Happy Birthday! What a spectacular collection. The Savinelli birdseye is exceptional but I love the three box set of churchwardens. There is something very special about three identical pipes in different finishes. I hope you'll agree that the Castello is a great smoker.
Susan’s present from Turkey finally arrived! It was pipe related, but not a pipe like I was guessing. She got me this great leather pipe bag with magnetic snaps (my initials are stamped on the flap) that can carry six pipes; it also came with a leather pipe tobacco pouch, leather pipe tobacco tray with snaps, and a leather pipe stand. I guess I’m ready to take some gear on the go!
