Ser Jacopo: Spongia Delecta Sandblasted Bent Apple Sitter with Silver (S3) (C) 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 bent Apple Sitter features a plump bowl that stands a the fore of an upturned shank and a steeply curved saddle stem, the latter of which promotes a comfortable smoking posture. The bowl's flat heel enables the entire composition to sit without the aid of a pipe stand, making this piece a stable and functional desk pipe. A rugged sandblast dresses the stummel and highlights lively grain across the bowl and shank alike, while a stylized accent of sterling silver adorns the shank end and ties the composition together with a dose of flash.
