Rusticated Bent Billiard (R1) (B) (Maxima Maxima) Tobacco Pipe

Named after an Italian nobleman, Ser Jacopo was found by famous craftsman Giancarlo Guidi after he left the Mastero de Paja workshop. The Ser Jacopo workshop is known for creating the Pesaro shaping aesthetic and crafting classically rendered Italian pipes with unique, flourished finishes. This bent Billiard maintains the workshop's preference for creating muscular designs, with the tall, full-bodied bowl offering two inches of chamber depth. Bearing two "Maxima" stamps, it is a massive take on the classic form, sure to fill the palm with ease. Towering at the fore with a forward-urging posture, the bowl's hearty figure is formed by thick, insulating walls reaching high from the rounded heel and curving slightly toward the flat rim. A sturdy shank curves upward from the bowl and meets a bent saddle stem, the combination forming a dramatic S-curvature in silhouette. Dressing the stummel is a mahogany-hued rustication that offers plenty of tactile detail for the hand to appreciate.
