Ser Jacopo: Delecta Sandblasted Bent Billiard (S1) (B) Tobacco Pipe

Well known for their extra-large Maxima pipes, Ser Jacopo is equally adept at crafting comparatively moderately-sized pieces such as this bent Billiard. Proportionally balanced and muscular, the stout, tall bowl offers a deep chamber within thick, insulating walls. The heel sweeps upward into the fore wall, curving as it does and working in concert with the aft wall's travel from the transition to lend a subtle taper to the rim. As part of the Delecta line, this pipe features a trim silver band along the base of the ebony-hued stem, contrasting the dark, inky sandblast of the stummel, while flourishing expansion discs are seen by the shank end. Bold and precisely designed, this is a handsome rendition from the playful Pesaro workshop.
