Are you feeling ducky

[fishnbanjo]

L'antara certainly took a different twist on the Rhodesian shape as it's pinched from the side almost football shaped. With a light stain on the cap and a dark stain on the bottom it's very striking and the duck looking at thinks so as well!
Doing a good job feeling ducky and keeping it smokey with Capstan Blue.

That little metal ducky hood ornament is on the stem, not the shank as I had remembered. That's something I would expect to find whimsical, but it annoys me. But L'Antara makes such pretty pipes, and some don't even have a duck. Many love that little ducky; I know that. Otherwise that is a gorgeous pipe, with the contrasting finishes and the flowing shape.
