Here's the Canadian. It is larger than I thought, but I am very happy with it. The only flaw at all is the stem needs a little polishing up. It barely has any rim darkening. It's an older pipe, but I'm thinking it wasn't smoked all that much.
I think it will be a good pipe for flakes, so I thought the first bowl would be this fine Virginia offering from McClelland.
So far (about 1/3 of the way through the 1st bowl) it is smoking very nicely and I absolutely love the look.
For what I paid (32.00 including shipping), I think I did pretty well.
It's a Savinelli Sherwood Rock Briar 804 shape.

Nice pipe. I have several Canadians, one of my favorite shapes. A couple are so long I have to keep churchwarden length pipe cleaners on hand for.

Sweet shape,Looks like you scored pretty large.

, my guess is that if a retailer stamped his name on the side of a pipe, it probably wasn't an expensive one to begin with. But if it smokes well, it's a good one.
You oughta know not to stand by the window, somebody see you up there.

Good choice
@Cool Breeze
. As you know, most Savinellis are great smokers. Thanks for telling us about Hal O' the Wynd in your YouTube video; that is some fine stuff!

I wanted some things to stash away and try later. The Pipes and Cigars sale made it too good to pass up. This should keep me busy for a while once I start opening them.
