Jacono: Smooth Olivewood Rhodesian Tobacco Pipe

There's certain something that the distinct ink-on-water grain pattern of olivewood accentuates about the the geometry of the Rhodesian shape, when handled well. Tonino Jacono not only knows this (and handles it well of course), but he knows how best to use the stuff to the greatest effect possible. While a previous olivewood Rhodesian we saw from Tonino was possibly a bit more overtly streamlined than this one, here he produced something a bit more understated and affable, while allowing the rings of honey-blonde grain to ripple outward from the rim like ripples on a pond.
