Jacono: Pawn Cherrywood 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 Cherrywood from Jacono boasts the shape's sure-sitting form factor within robust proportions. Upon a flattened heel, the bowl balances with an eager forward cant, with thick, insulating walls rising high toward the rim. Transitioning from the bowl is a compact shank that pairs to a gingerly downturned saddle stem of jet-black acrylic, the pair primed for comfortable clenching. Jacono pipes are graded according to a chess-themed naming convention, with this "Pawn" piece dressed in a dark, crisp sandblast that reveals rippling growth rings traveling up the bowl, with the rim and shank end wearing a light, smooth stain for contrast.
