IL DUCA UNSMOKED BARONE DD GRADE BLAST OLIVEWOOD SQUASHED TOMATO ESTATE PIPE

Description

Il Duca is synonymous with high grade Italian pipe making and I love their Barone line which includes Morta and Olivewood as seen here in this lovely Danish/Japanese inspired squashed Tomato shape! They are graded up to 3 "D's" with this one showing 2 and it's no wonder as the blast is quite exceptional. I see a lot of Danish influence here but even more Japanese as Tsuge makes this shape quite well. It's a squashed Tomato and has a slight Prince feel to it while sporting a wide bowl with a modest chamber. The quarter bent shank transitions effortlessly and then widens where it is extended by a beautiful piece of what appears to be Spalted Maple which adds a lovely touch and nice contrast to the cream colored Olivewood. Stem is crisp black acrylic and has a soft feel to it with a fishtail bit, Saturn ring up against the Maple, and "D" logo. No finish on Olivewood, just pure nature at its finest while the blast is amazing showing grain almost similar to that of Morta yet still unique. If you have not added an Olivewood pipe to your rotation, it's hard to do much better than an Il Duca!
