Ser Jacopo Smooth Bent Dublin (L1).
One of Italy\'s best-established artisan pipe-makers, with nearly 40 years in business, Ser Jacopo pipes are among the best examples of the use of briar\'s natural grain to accentuate the look of the piece.
This bent dublin is one I\'m rather fond of myself, effortlessly combining this classic shape with some unique and subtle touches. The chamber is round, but the bowl is oval, giving it a pleasing visual profile. The dot on the stem beautifully matches the color of the stummel as well, giving the pipe an incorporated look.
Ser Jacopo stamps their pipes with a classification of their finish. This is an \"L1,\" meaning it boasts a smooth finish, with flame grain. And indeed, the handsome flame grains on the sides nicely contrast with the birds eye around the rim.
Length: 5 1/2\"Height: 1 3/4\"
Stamping:
Left side:Ser Jacopo [in script]FATTA A MANO
Right side:PER ASPERAAD ASTRA
Underneath:L1 [in a circle]
There are a few teeth marks around the bit, and some rim darkening, but this pipe has been cleaned and given the salt treatment. The grain and shape are exquisite, and this is truly a showpiece smoker that looks great and feels great!
