I’ve been intrigued by the Savinelli 321 Mini for awhile now. While I prefer the bigger brother 320 in all its larger iterations, there’s a time and place for a smaller pipe that doesn’t take ninety or 120 minutes to smoke. The problem is, I could never get past the Crayolaon colour palette of the stems, and the condom ring just seemed wrong.

But, that all changed when I was checking out smokingpipes.com and they had a Smooth Punto Oro 321 Mini. Sign me up!
Getting ready to watch the big UFC card and want to have a pre-fight smoke to start things off. I’m going to have McClelland Christmas Cheer 2016 (thanks @Servant King !) in a Savinelli Punto Oro Mini Natural 321 Author.

To give an idea of the size of this tiny pipe, I’ve taken a photo of it next to some other Savinelli Author pipes. Bottom left to upper right: Smooth Punto Oro 321 Mini; Rusticated Punto Oro 321; Punto Oro Corallo di Mare 320 KS; Punto Oro Corallo di Mare 320 EX; Nutsack Rusticated 320 Mega (with a flat top); Rusticated Hercules 320 EX.

Correction: the 321 next to the Mini is Sandblasted.

I hope you dig it! It’s funny; the emoji you used is very much like a 1971 Newsweek cover story on Ross Macdonald:
That's a helluva blast for a Pete.

Got my package from SPC today ! Opened the pound of Sutliffe Match Sunrise and loosely filled the Barontini 1/2 spigot and slow sipped it until done. Surprisingly the pipe barely got warm. This batch seems a tad drier then the last batch (???). Going to check now to see if Lane 1-Q is back in stock.
P.S. Can't find the turtle anywhere so I assume he moved on towards the river. "Take me to the river ..."

A quarter of the way through this bowl of Sutliff Presbyterian in a straight dark brown and tan rusticated Peterson 2023 Saint Patrick’s Day 264 Canadian with an Irish flag colored ferrule and tapered black acrylic stem. Listening to the Braves-Rays game on the XM because our local Fox channel is blacked out in a rights dispute with Direct TV and AT&T. Boneheads.
It’s interesting—maybe it’s because of the density of the McClelland flake and the smaller diameter of the Savinelli Punto Oro 321 Mini’s chamber having a smaller exposed surface area, but I almost got a two and a half hour smoke out of this little pipe, which was unexpected. So much for a shorter smoke in this little guy!
