Recently scored a Gigante series 2 Egg tomato. Terrific birdseye up and down both sides of the wide, squashed shank.

...and who wouldn't want a happy duck head staring at you while smoking?

I'm really digging the extra wide bit too. Seems to be drilled extra wide too..smokes like a Castello. Keeps me puffing consistently, yet the bowl barely gets warm to the touch. I'm impressed.

That's a marvelous looking pipe Brian! I have two ducks: a billiard and a full bent apple.

They took a long time to break in and lose their woody, "green" taste; but it was worth the effort.

I think L'Anatra and Ser Jacopo are related in some way, but their briar seems to be very different.

Tbradsim1, tremendous looking poker. I bet that's a long smoke!
Cortez, I assumed as much about breaking it in. The chamber was virgin and just looked like it would take some serious smoking to get a good cake going. I've been trying!

I am a fan. I have one with a duck on the stem 'flat' and one with the sticking out duck. They are nice looking. I don't think either of mine are as nice as yours. That is a nice looking pipe! Well done.
