Jacono: Rook Lovat Tobacco Pipe

In 1981, Tonino Jacono and his father-in-law began developing an idea for a pipe-making workshop. Tonino's father-in-law would supply the briar from the mill where he worked; Tonino's brother-in-law would shape the pipes; and Tonino would finish the pipes. Two years later, Tonino and his family were crafting pipes centralized around a core philosophy: offer the highest-quality smoking instruments at the right price. Four decades later, Tonino now heads the workshop and has taken over carving the pipes himself, though he maintains the same adherence to that core value system. Here, Tonino showcases his impeccable shaping acumen and handsome finishing work. This Lovat boasts a broad, full-bodied bowl that flares from its firm heel to its broad, flat rim. Said bowl stands at the fore of a lengthy shank that tapers gradually as it approaches an abbreviated saddle stem. It's all handsomely dressed in a warm auburn finish that highlights gorgeous grain across the bowl and shank alike.
