Ser Jacopo smooth dark brown pipe, straight fancy Dublin model with black methacrylate mouthpiece. L1 A 2 Maxima group rating. The pipe has a great visual impact due to its generous size. The silver ferrule is a real touch of class that never fails. Its square shape is perfect, with a panelled bowl and slightly curved stem that make it unique, very elegant and refined. It has a beautiful flame pattern with a very distinctive and stylish bevelled edge on the bowl. The bowl is slightly tilted forward, giving it a sense of movement that adds to its superior class. An imposing pipe that pleases the eye, the hand and the taste buds. It is large in size and stands out for its capable bowl, which guarantees excellent smokeability in any situation. Its lightness makes it ideal for any smoke, although it is best enjoyed while sitting comfortably in an armchair. Ser Jacopo's L1 pipes are smooth pipes without flaws and characterised by a noticeable but irregular grain.
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 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.
