That is a nice pipe, Jud. I still have an older unsmoked Savinelli I haven't gotten around to breaking in. Hell, my Peterson has barely gotten much use either, a handful of bowls. I keep going back to my older pipes since they are broken in well and good. My favorite pipe (a Yello Bole Chesterfield) just returned today from a month in the shop for a broken stem ... so it might be longer till I find the time to break in a new pipe.
