Jacono: Stalemate Rusticated Brandy (10) 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 Brandy from Jacono boasts tall, hearty bowl upfront with a subtle forward cant, formed by thick walls rising from the broad base and tapering toward the flat rim, creating a figure that fits snugly in the hand. A muscular shank transitions from the bowl and meets a vibrant stem fashioned from swirling, crimson acrylic, the arrangement carrying a gradual taper that further emphasizes the bowl. Jacono pipes are graded according to a chess-themed naming convention, with this "Stalemate" piece wearing a craggy, inky rustication.
