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.
A truly striking offering from Jacono, this Bulldog showcases the artisan's keen eye for rusticating. The stummel is replete with satisfying, rugged texture interplayed against smooth slips of briar around the bowl's rim and high-set waist, as well as the end of the shank. The tapered, diamond-shaped stem makes an excellent complement to the stummel's finish, sharing its rich burgundy and ruby coloring, but in the form of shimmering, iridescent acrylic.
