Italian Estates: Jacono Rook Lovat Tobacco Pipe

Tonino Jacono, along with his father-in-law and brother-in-law, created the Jacono company in 1981. While each member had their own roles, they were all united by the common goal of creating high-quality pipes at a fair price. This Lovat from Jacono is a more classically-inclined offering from the Italian marque. The bowl stands tall with a slight forward cant, formed by smooth, straight walls reaching from the firm heel toward the flat rim. A round, muscular shank reaches far from the transition, punctuated by an abbreviated saddle stem to complete the form's iconic silhouette. Jacono pipes are graded according to a chess-themed naming convention, with this piece designated as a "Rook." The stummel wears a warm, auburn stain that highlights healthy grain throughout.
