Mastro Geppetto Spiral Carved Horn Estate Briar Pipe, Unsmoked

Description

Mastro Geppetto pipes are made by the Italian workshop brand Ser Jacopo. One could call them Ser Jacopo’s series of ‘affordable’ pipes, and while this would be correct purely from the standpoint of price, it wouldn’t be entirely fair to them in other regards. Geppetto pipes are hand made from the same high-grade briar as Ser Jacopo pipes, but the former do not use the plateau cuts that the latter does, which are more expensive; Geppetto pipes also tend to be simpler shapes, meaning they do not require the use of the highly-technical flexible drilling machinery that Ser Jacopo’s wilder shapes do.

Here’s a unique design I haven’t seen before: a spiral carved bowl that begins at the very precipice of the chamber and proceeds, uninterrupted, down around the bowl, transitioning into the shank, where it disappears into a chestnut smooth polish.

This Geppetto is completely unsmoked, with an original bowl coating. It also comes with its original sleeve.
