Wow. That is really nice. I really like the inlay in the stem. Nice grab. By the looks of the thickness of the bowl looks like it would take a lot to get it hot. That what I look for.

What a beautiful pipe. Congratulations indeed. That north south stuff is great but I love that weaving Birdseye coolness on the shank!! ::

Thanks guys for the comments.
I knew if kept looking around long enough the right estate pipe would find me. I had never heard of Jacono before so when I saw the pipe for sale I did some quick research and was pretty impressed with what I found. I love the grain on this one and especially the way it goes with the shape so well.
mp31- yes it smokes as good as it looks. Testing out the first bowl now.
I got the pipe through smokingpipes.com and It came very clean and ready to smoke. Just a very faint ghost from previous owner.

One man Tonino Jacono. Performs each step of the pipe making process himself. He started in 1981 I believe and makes 300-400 pipes a year.
Here is a cool page How the Tonino Jacono Pipes are made

Mike, you picked a beauty for your first estate piece. That should be a flake smoking machine with those thick walls and conical shaped bowl. Beautiful straight grain, nice thick walls and from what I have heard a quality mfg. Congrats.

I met him several years ago at a pipe show here in Carolina.He didn't speak a lot of english at the time so I couldn't talk to him a lot.I did get one of his pipes though.It smokes great.I'm sure yours will as well.

Thanks guys, I've only smoked the pipe one time so far and it does smoke cool. Barely got warm in my hand. Next up will be some flakes. Yeah it's a beauty I'm pretty impressed with it. Kinda of a strange shape though A Dublin-Lovat hybrid. The uniqueness Is what I like about the pipe I guess.
