Ser Jacopo smooth dark brown pipe, classic straight cutty dublin model with black methacrylate mouthpiece. Group L1 A rating. This pipe is a Ser Jacopo classic with perfect measurements and proportions. The dark briar highlights beautiful contrasting grain in a traditional cut with a fairly dense and regular flame pattern across the entire bowl. It is very elegant and refined with a precious silver mouthpiece that gives it a superior class. The cutty-style forward-sloping bowl gives it a very beautiful sense of movement. It is medium in size and stands out for its more than capable bowl, which guarantees excellent smokeability in any situation. Its lightness makes it ideal for smoking while walking or sitting comfortably in an armchair. Ser Jacopo L1 pipes are smooth pipes without defects and characterised by a noticeable but irregular grain. Its construction is perfect and the quality of the briar is the same as that of the major series.
Ser Jacopo was founded in 1982 by the expert hands of Giancarlo Guidi. He brings with him a decade of successful experience at Mastro, of which he was one of the founders. This new adventure begins 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.
