A new pipe is always something special, terry. I'm sure it will treat you well. I'm looking forward to seeing your picture. I have a new Savinelli that's not even broken in yet and it's already becoming a favorite.
Yes,uberam3rica, Mine is a churchwarden, but it's only 8 inches so it's not so awkward. But mine is a 626 shape, not a 628.
Terry, does your new pipe come with a filter?
Savinelli is a classic.But if you will want a top italian pipe with correct price referring to quality try a Castello.Much better than dunhills at about half of the price
