Jess’ pipes have an understated beauty. They generally will not wow you with astounding angel hair grain, dramatic, deep sandblasts, or fantastical shapes. He does classics with a Danish flair with impeccable balance and workmanship. I have only two in my collection. Both are black sandblasts done in the shallow Danish style with a red understain and Cumberland stems made from old Dunhill rod stock. Stately. Handsome. And with outstanding engineering.
Congratulations on a pipe that you will cherish for decades.
