It is on its way, so haven't seen in person yet. But it says it comes with two stems, and is an 'egg' shape. I think #7, but am having difficulty confirming. I am excited to try it out!
Greetings from SoCal!

Thanks! I got the hell out of LA myself -- went East.
I am really looking forward to the HCA. Haddo's has been a delight so far.
My first pipe was a 606 KS as well! I really do still enjoy it. Similar to the 999, the Savinelli 673 was my second purchase and has grown to be my favorite. Anyways, welcome from Indiana. I am also a site newb. Cheers!Hi there pipers from sunny Southern California! I am re-new to pipe smoking over the last couple months. In the late 80's I bought an inexpensive pipe and an aromatic blend from Tinder Box at a local mall... tried it, liked the 'ritual' and the flavor, but didn't know how to pack, light, tend, or smoke with any facility. Gave it up and moved to cigars as an occasional luxury.
Recently I found myself stumbling on to MuttNChop Piper's channel and decided to educate myself and really give it a proper go. Bought a Savinelli 606KS and then a Peterson 999 Rhodesian. Acquired several 'recommended' blends across the spectrum including Maltese Falcon, Haddo's Delight, Plum Pudding, Eileen's Dream, Nightcap, Balkan Sasieni, Blood Red Moon, Escudo Navy de Luxe, and Elizabethan Mixture. I have been delighted with the variety and have also been surprised by what appeals to me.
Now I have a third pipe (Stanwell Hans Christian Andersen smooth churchwarden) and a couple blends from Boswell's (Northwoods and Boswell's Best) on the way.
I've been seriously considering a Sav 673, but wanted to first try another brand. I have a feeling I'll end up with one soon.

Welcome from Texas! I’m only a month into my pipe journey, so my recommendations don’t carry much weight. But I’ve learned this so far - The Country Squire knows what they are doing when it comes to tobacco blends. I’m pretty sure they sell all their tobacco in bulk, so you can get 1oz samples.Hi there pipers from sunny Southern California! I am re-new to pipe smoking over the last couple months.

Thanks -- I appreciate the recommendation. There are so many options out there it is nice to have starting points. My Boswell order comes tomorrow -- looking forward to trying their blends.
