Bought a lightly used Venini online. Don't know much about them but I like it. Sort of a quarter bent pot. I guess I otherwisa have all smaller pipes because I thought my Morgan Bones Rhody was beefy and it looks svelte next to this thing. Going to fire it up later tonight. Its making me think about how important stem design is. Its big, but easier to clench than a couple of the smaller, lighter pipes I have. Although I wish the stem was a touch thinner across. Definitely becoming a clencher and am drawn to saddle stems.

Also, here's a Medico I only recently acqired. It is small:
