Jacono: Knight Poker with Boxwood (E) Tobacco Pipe

Tonino Jacono's father-in-law worked in a briar mill and offered Tonino a business opportunity: create a pipemaking workshop that only used his highest quality briars. So, Jacono pipes was born, where Tonino creates fashionable, well-engineered pipes at an accessible price. A highly organic Poker, this offering from Jacopo features a stylish boxwood accent at the junction, adding a touch of warmth to the overall palette. This earthy character continues in the bowl, which is organically shaped with an overhanging, asymmetrical rim. The bowl's well-sitting stance, combined with the craggy texture of the Knight finish, evokes the look of a cut-down tree stump, with the rim's lighter stain suggesting the freshly cut surface. This piece's highly textured stummel showcases handsome grain throughout—grain fine enough to earn it an "E" stamp, Jacono's designation for pipes with especially striking grain.
