Mastro Geppetto: Liscia Brandy (2) Tobacco Pipe

A sub-brand of Ser Jacopo, Mastro Gepetto produces handmade pipes that showcase the same playful shaping as their parent brand, but at a more approachable price point. This handsome Brandy is one of the latest offerings from the Italian workshop, and it showcases their penchant for crafting eye-catching pieces.

In classic Brandy fashion, the bowl of this offering is all supple curves. The shank-and-stem arrangement is equally plump and displays arrow-straight posture as it springs forth from the cheeked transition. The stem is steadily tapered and made of a crimson-hued acrylic with several inky swirls scattered throughout; the vibrant red stands out strikingly against the stummel's dark walnut stain. Said stain highlights the briar's handsome grain, replete with whirling pools of birdseye and defining cross grain.
