Jacono: Knight Pot Tobacco Pipe

Decidedly neoclassical, this Pot from Tonino Jacono is distinguished by its angles, slopes, and unflinchingly muscular demeanor. The stem is a marbled cream and white stretch of acrylic, flaring into and informing the shape of the shank which transitions with a cliff-like sharpness to the bowl, underside remaining straight through it all before transitioning with a similar sharpness at the heel. The bowl stands proudly upright with a stoic acknowledgement of its girth, and the rim mirrors this, its broadness encircling a capacious chamber with appropriately thick walls. The silhouette of this pipe is full of straight lines, such as the transition, underside, and flat rim, contrasted only by the sloping taper of the shank and stem, imbuing the pipe with a character of practicality. This is heightened by the rugged rustication of the stummel and pleasingly contrasted by the smoothly finished rim and creamy hues of the stem.
