I have another 616 only smooth. It was a good smoker in about 5-6 bowls. The smooth took time away from my meditation time as I was continually fondling, rubbing and admiring. I ordered the sandblasted for it’s plainness, all I need to do with it is tend the fire.@WetPipeDreamer This is my own 616 Sistina. I smoke it when I want to relax for two hours, particularly reading. I was impatient breaking it in and created two pits in the bowl by smoking too hot. They were small enough to repair with some pipe mud. I hope yours is equally enjoyable, especially after taking the time to properly break it in.
