Ser Jacopo pipe, sandblasted dark brown, curved fancy bulldog model with black methacrylate mouthpiece. S2 Maxima 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. The fine sandblasting makes it very pleasant to hold and gives it an almost silky feel. Its accentuated curvature makes it very comfortable as it does not weigh on the teeth. It is medium/large in size and stands out for its capable bowl, which guarantees excellent smokeability in any situation. Its lightness makes it ideal for smoking while walking or sitting comfortably in an armchair. The S2 series are pipes with small defects that are sandblasted but have beautiful grain, as can be seen on the bowl of this model. The workmanship is very time-consuming, but the result is impressive. This pipe is ideal for the warmer months as it does not heat up the hand as much. It is excellent for walking as it is less prone to 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 successful experience 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.
