Ser Jacopo: Delecta Rusticated Billiard with Silver (R1) (E) (Maxima 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. A handsome showcase of the brand's unique style, this Billiard boasts a sturdy, full-bodied bowl that fills the hand with thick, insulating walls, which additionally conceal a chamber of considerable depth, ensuring plenty of long, leisurely smoking sessions. In typical Italian neoclassical fashion, the muscular bowl holds most of the visual weight within the composition, its stocky build and towering height overshadowing the tapering shank-and-stem arrangement that brings up the rear. A crisp, earth-toned rustication dresses the stummel and lends a wealth of tactile detail to the composition, while a stylized band of sterling silver adorns the shank end and provides a dose of flash to the overall form.
