Jacono: Pawn Volcano 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 Volcano boasts a muscular bowl that tapers from its broad, ridgeline-wrapped heel to its taut rim. Said bowl is positioned at the fore of a sinuously bent shank-and-stem arrangement, one that provides a touch of gesture to the form and promotes a comfortable smoking posture. Dressed in an earthy sandblast, the stummel displays rippling grain.
