Delecta La Fuma Smooth Bent Dublin with Silver (B) Tobacco Pipe

Based in Pesaro, Italy, and founded in 1982, the Ser Jacopo workshop has a long-standing reputation for innovation when it comes to Italian pipe making. The founder of Ser Jacopo, Giancarlo Guidi, defied convention when he established his workshop and began producing pipes that diverged from the Anglo-French shape-chart classics, instead drawing inspiration from fine art, and even daily life on the island of Pesaro. Until his passing in 2012, Guidi experimented with playful proportions and bold finishes, paving the way for a new style of pipe making that's still beloved today. With its muscular shaping, vibrant auburn stain, and Delecta stem, this bent Dublin certainly embodies Ser Jacopo's signature style.

The bowl of this bent Dublin is hearty yet compact, as is the shank-and-stem arrangement that joins said bowl. As part of Ser Jacopo's La Fuma series, this piece boasts striking grain highlighted by a smooth, auburn finish, and the silver accent of the Delecta line creates some separation between the stummel and the stem, adding a flash of cool metal to the otherwise warm, earthy palette. This pipe's compact proportions make it an excellent option for relaxed smoking — and with such fine finishing work, it's quite a handsome on-the-go smoker at that.
