Mastro Geppetto: Liscia Poker Churchwarden (3) 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 Poker Churchwarden by Mastro Geppetto, as its name implies, boasts a tall, cylindrical bowl that stands at the fore of a trim shank and a long tapered stem. The stem's protracted length ensures a cooler smoke and adds a pronounced sleekness to the shape's profile. The bowl, in comparison to the shank-and-stem arrangement, is a touch more whimsical, possessing an elevated fore wall that brings to mind the "windshield" pipes of old. Dressing this piece is a honey-blonde smooth finish that highlights lively grain throughout the stummel.
