Mastro Geppetto: Rusticato Acorn Tobacco Pipe

Known for pioneering the Pesaro style of pipe making, Giancarlo Guidi founded Ser Jacopo in 1982. Since then, the Italian marque has made a name for itself with its fantastical, imaginative interpretations of classic pipe conventions. Ser Jacopo's sub-brand Mastro Geppetto offers pipes at a more accessible price range without compromising on the marque's distinctive style or standards of quality. Boasting a sturdy, full-bodied figure, this Acorn from Mastro Geppetto is imbued with a touch of robustness. The bowl stands pert and upright, its walls flaring from the softened heel and gently curving toward the rim, creating a comfortable presence in hand. A thick oval shank transitions from the bowl, framed by a pair of subtle ridgelines that accentuate its muscularity as it meets a gradually tapering stem. Courtesy of Mastro Geppetto's Rusticato finish, the stummel wears a rugged, hickory-hued rustication with warm undertones peeking from beneath.
