Ok this one is a first of many for me. It is my first L'Anatra, my first olive wood pipe, my first time ordering from Al Pascia, and my first time ordering from a shop outside the United States. I've been considering an L'Anatra for some time because they put out some great looking pipes. And I've seen some great looking olive wood pipes, and just haven't had the opportunity to snag one yet. So when this one showed up on Al Pascia some time ago, a beatiful L'Anatra and an olive wood at that, I fell in love with it. I was just hoping nobody else bought it before I had some extra money come in.
I've never ordered from a pipe retailer outside the U.S. but my concerns were calmed by some of members here. Thanks, all :D And so I went through with my purchase. I've visited the site often, as they receive some wonderful pipes, and their photos are top notch. And I love watching the videos they provide of each pipe, something I wish more retailers would consider.
Well to keep from rambling on and on, here's the pipe I purchased. It's certainly one of the nicest olive wood pipes I've seen.

I'll definitely let ya'll know how it smokes, and if I notice any difference compared to briar.
