Ser Jacopo: Sandblasted Rhodesian (S1) (A) (Maxima) 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. This Rhodesian is a handsome showcase of the brand's style, as it reflects the marque's penchant for muscular proportions and distinctive shaping cues. As one might expect from its "Maxima" stamp, this piece boasts some hearty proportions, offering over six inches of length and a bowl over two inches tall. The tall, beadline-wrapped bowl houses a capacious chamber within its brawny frame, ensuring plenty of long, leisurely smoking sessions, which the high-kicking shank-and-stem will deftly aid. Dressed in a dark sandblast, the stummel reveals tight waves of growth rings across the flank's of the bowl.
