Ser Jacopo: Jucunda Sandblasted Bent Apple (S2) (A) 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 bent Apple by Ser Jacopo boasts a plump, full-bodied bowl that stands atop a wide, ample heel. From this heel, the bowl tapers upward to its taut rim, and as it does, it takes on a subtle forward cant that imbues the totality of the shape with an active stance in profile. An upturned shank and a demurely curved saddle stem bring up the pipe's rear and lend a touch of gesture to the form, all while promoting a comfortable smoking posture. Part of the Juncunda series, with "Juncunda" meaning "Delightful" in Latin, this piece is dressed in a ruddy sandblast that highlights rugged grain throughout the stummel.
