About This Pipe
Ser Jacopo's story began in 1982 when Giancarlo Guidi and Bruto Sordini left Mastro de Paja to start their own firm. In true Italian style, the company's pipes offer finely crafted variations on traditional British and French shapes. With their Mastro Geppetto pipes (named for the man who carved Pinocchio), Ser Jacopo provides the same curious approach, neoclassical shapes, and variant finishes of its other pipes at a lower price point.
This Freehand from Mastro Geppetto is heavily bent, with the canted bowl backed by a steeply upturned shank-and-stem arrangement that gives this piece a profile near that of an Oom Paul. The stummel is deeply and thoroughly rusticated for a craggy feel and mostly dark appearance through which some ruby-hued briar can be appreciated. Above the round, muscular shank rises a tapered stem of red acrylic with swirls of black that bends generously on its way back to the bit for easy clenching in the jaw.
