Any L'Anatra fans?

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.

Very nice

Well, I sure like that one! Nice.

I have a L'Anatra poker and it's a great pipe. And I agree about the duck's head; it's cool to me.

Never heard of them, but seeing that makes me think...crap there goes my PAD

I have 2, a poker and a hefty Dublin , strange though every time I get them out I have my Model 12 in hand. :rofl:

 

[papipeguy]

For the record.

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'm waiting on my first one to arrive. It's an e-bay purchase (with really crappy pic)..........

Beautiful pipe!! LOVE those oval shanks!

 

[foggymountain]

Love the duck, but the smoke is disappointing.

 

[cosmicfolklore]

I like my duck. Great pics, everyone. Especially love the OP pipe. Keep 'em coming.

 

[wyfbane]

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.

L'Anatra makes pipes without the duck, if you prefer that, as I would.
