Ventura Smooth Bent Dublin Sitter (Gigante) Tobacco Pipe

Since its establishment in 1998, L'Anatra has become a mainstay of Italian pipe making and an influential part of the Pesaro tradition. Evocative finishes, playful shaping, and exquisite silverwork typify L'Anatra's craftsmanship and reflect the marque's bold, whimsical spirit. There is perhaps no better encapsulation of L'Anatra's unique character than their telltale signature: a tiny silver duck head, found on every pipe stem.

Pipes from L'anatra's Gigante series comprise some of the workshop's largest pieces, further enhancing the substance of the brand's already larger-than-average output. These pipes present extended lengths and hearty constructions, their proportions often dramatized, even within the bounds of the Pesaro school. This bent Dublin is a stable Sitter, its visual weight centered squarely on the bowl, as its thick, flaring walls expand to a slanted rim from a flat heel. The transition is tight and raised, the shank showcasing an extended look that complements the heel with an additional flattened surface to further stabilize this pipe's sitting posture. Paired to a high-reaching, tapered stem of black acrylic, this pipe is poised for comfortable smoking and is dressed in the vibrant, auburn-hued, smooth finish of the Ventura series.
