Ser Jacopo pipe in sandblasted hazelnut-coloured sponge, curved fancy bulldog model with black methacrylate mouthpiece. S3 group rating. The pipe has a striking visual impact thanks to its original shape, reminiscent of the elegance and grace of a flamingo. Its perfect balance allows it to be placed down without falling over. Its accentuated curvature makes it very comfortable to hold as it does not weigh down on the teeth. It is medium in size and stands out for its discreet bowl, which guarantees excellent smokeability in any situation. Its lightness makes it ideal for smoking while walking or sitting comfortably in an armchair. The Spongia series are pipes with small defects that are sandblasted or rusticated but have perfect briar without blemishes and are therefore left natural. They are very rare but have a remarkable appearance. The workmanship is very time-consuming, but the result is certainly impressive. This pipe is ideal for the warmer months as it does not heat up the hand as much. It is excellent for walking, given its lower propensity for scratches and marks. This pipe has an impressive and original design that highlights the craftsmanship of Ser Jacopo.
Ser Jacopo was founded in 1982 by the expert hands of Giancarlo Guidi. He came from a decade of success at Mastro, of which he was one of the founders. This new adventure began by focusing on pipe mouthpieces, creating true works of art. He uses precious metals, stones, horn and exotic woods to give Ser Jacopo pipes a distinctive and new look that many smokers appreciate. Add to this seasoned briar and success is immediate. Giancarlo Guidi is considered the father of what is known as the 'Pesaro school'. He taught the craft to many young people who, as they grew up, started their own workshops. Over the years, these artisans, as a sign of gratitude and esteem, have turned to Guidi, calling him Maestro. Giancarlo left us in 2012, still full of projects that were never realised, but which would certainly have amazed us. He was an extraordinary person, humble and cultured, a great art lover. The world of pipes lost a true protagonist too soon, and I lost a true friend.
