Mastro Geppetto Straight Paneled Dublin 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.

If you’re familiar with early French briar pipes, you’ll know that panel shapes are highly traditional in their approach to pipe design. This Mastro Geppetto channels some of that traditionalist impetus in its eight-paneled bowl, but simultaneously moves in a far more modern direction by pairing that bowl with a red and black swirl Lucite stem. Call it a “contemporary twist on a true classic,” as Mastro Geppetto pipes tend to be.

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