Ser Jacopo: **Smooth Calabash (L2) (A) Tobacco Pipe

Generally speaking, "compact" and "Ser Jacopo" are anathema to one another. "Ser Jacopo" and "Maxima", yes. Nonetheless, this trim, pocket-friendly Calabash is indeed compact, with an upright, slender bowl capped by a mushroom-like, domed rim. Featuring twin beadlines for visual breakup, along with sharply angled flanks toward a firm, spur-like heel, this pipe also features a diamond shank. Bulldog-like, except for its slender, rounded form and tall height, this Calabash is dressed in a warm, blonde stain that emphasizes the natural grain patterns of the briar, with the crisp linework lending textural appeal.
