My First Il Duca, and First Dublin!

[monty55]

I saw this pipe at SP and I just couldn't help myself. I've been wanting a dublin with a natural finish, also been wanting an Il Duca from Max Rimensi, but wanted something unusual. I think this fit the bill pretty well. I'm pretty sure the patina will make this pipe even more beautiful as the years pass

Wow, that is fantastic. Really distinctive with the plateau. I have a few vergin finish pipes and love the way they patina. Max makes some great pipes.

Wow, what a looker! 8O Love that half smooth/half plateau crown!

Congratulations! That is a great example of an il Duca. I love the 2 I have. They smoke great. Yours should too. :D

What a fantastic il Duca! I love how mine smokes and am sure you'll love yours as well, there's nothing, except watching a meerschaum color, more fascinating than watching a Vergin finish take on the magic of patina, may it bring you many memorable smokes.
