An well aged (Tin date January 2016) Bell’s Three Nuns in a Paykoc Meerschaum Sherlock Holmes - From Sherlock Holmes / Dr Watson two pipe set.

After 6 years this tobacco has become sublime ! On a related note - I had smoked through a tin of fresh Savinelli Doblone D’Oro earlier which I did not particularly like, although it is reviewed as a better version of Three Nuns. This calls for an experiment - I will buy Doblone D’Oro and Three Nuns again, wait six more years and smoke them and compare them side by side.

... the 3D bird's head logo/emblem/motif is admittedly not something I've seen before on a pipe ... not uncommon however on cars - for example the famous Flying Lady on the Rolls-Royce ...

Some history on the pipemakers responsible for your pipe courtesy So Pipes
"According to the ancient Greek fabler Aesop, there once was a farmer who owned a goose that laid golden eggs. The farmer became extremely wealthy by selling the golden eggs; however, he also became exceedingly greedy. Reasoning that he could gather all the golden eggs at one time, the farmer killed his goose and cut it open, only to ruin his opportunity to gather more golden eggs.
As a young boy, pipemaker Massimo Palazzi was fascinated by the fable and its lessons about greed. When he decided that he wanted to form his own company, he wanted to keep that fable’s moral forever in his mind so that he would not become greedy like the farmer, so he named the company after the fable, even though there are no geese in Italy and no Italian word for goose. His company’s name, L’Anatra dalle uova d’oro, translates into “The duck that lays the golden egg.” Since Palazzi began making his own pipes in 1997, he and partner Pascucci have found that L’Anatra has proved to be a golden proposition."
