About This Pipe
Tonino Jacono got his start in pipe making in 1981 when he joined forces with his brother-in-law, who shared his interest in the craft, and his father-in-law, who owned a briar-cutting mill. At first, the trio would share in the pipes' production, with his father-in-law drilling the pipes, his brother-in-law shaping them, and Tonino finishing them. These days, however, Tonino heads production on his own, utilizing charmingly old-school tools and techniques and sustaining the workshop's legacy of excellent pipes at fair prices.
Measuring just over four and a half inches in length, this Brandy from Jacono verges closely on Nosewarmer territory. Its length is the only compact thing about this piece, however, as it's rendered in bold, brawny proportions. The bowl is quite tall for a pipe of its length, and its width approximates that of the short shank, making for a muscular, tight-knit composition all around. The stummel wears a lively auburn-hued sandblast, which pairs handsomely with the vibrant crimson tones of the acrylic stem.
