Mastro Geppetto: Sabbiato Volcano (9mm) Tobacco Pipe

Since its founding in 1982, Ser Jacopo has become one of the most recognizable and iconic pipe brands in all of Italy. Under the watchful stewardship of founder Giancarlo Guidi, the workshop developed a style that has since come to define the Pesaro shaping aesthetic. Each Ser Jacopo pipe is imbued with a whimsical sense of character that reflects the brand's creativity and playful spirit. Ser Jacopo's sub-brand Mastro Geppetto offers the same whimsical shaping style and rich aesthetics as the main brand, but at a more accessible price point. This Volcano by Mastro Geppetto boasts a squat, Brandy-esque bowl with a broad, ample heel, a taut rim, and a dramatic upward taper. Said bowl is situated at the fore of a boxy shank and a steeply curved saddle stem, the former of which lends a structural flair to the shape's profile, while the latter promotes a comfortable smoking posture. Dressing this piece is a crisp, earth-toned sandblast that highlights healthy grain throughout the stummel.
