Ser Jacopo

[Grumpy11]

Opinions? Pipe Den in Vero Beach has a few new. I'm going down to take a look tomorrow..

 

[captpat]

I have a couple that I like, smoke well, have an open draw.

 

[Egg Shen]

Stylish pipes. Like mine a lot.

 

[agnosticpipe]

I have two and I love them. Their bent pipes are drilled in a way that lets you run a pipe cleaner all the way to the bowl with no problems. Very well made pipes.

 

[JimInks]

I have one made over twenty years ago. It's a terrific smoker with great drilling and style. I hear good things about more recent productions, and if I were buying pipes, I'd buy another.

I have three in my collection and enjoy each of them.

I bought my Ser Jacopo in 2013, new on sale from Smoking Pipes, with some windfall money. I couldn't touch a SJ new or estate today with what i paid on that sale, and I like the pipe very much. A fetching design that has aged well, a Dublin blast bowl, with a square serpentine shank and stem. The chamber is more than ample, and the bit is broad, and the whole pipe light weight and comfortable, with an open draw. The whole package is deluxe, and I always enjoy lighting it up. It's all the better for having been an extremely good deal. I can attest, it has aged nicely.

I have 6 and still looking for the perfect 7th. I love my SJs. They all smoke great and I like their particular style. I lean towards smaller than typical SJs. A lot of their pipes run BIG.

 

[Buffalo]

I cannot recommend them enough. I have 2 Ser Jacopos and also one Mastro Geppetto.

Are SJs pricey? They can be. Do they smoke well? Absolutely. Are they worth the extra cost? In my opinion, yes!

If I was faced with the choice of buying one Ser Jacopo or 2 Petersons or Savinellis, I would, without a shadow of a doubt, buy the Ser Jacopo.

 

[ak2000]

I have 3, all excellent pipes

 

[Searock Fan]

I have several and all are good quality and fine smokers.

 

[gervais]

I have 0 Ser Jacopo pipes, but I have drooled over many!

 

[SBC]

I've temporarily owned and smoked several of them, back in my pipe flipping days.
Of all the pipes that I was committed to selling, the SJs were usually the most difficult to go through with -- I loved them so much.
The aesthetic of the ones which passed through me were exquisite, to my taste. The drilling and draw are likewise perfect. I became an enormous fan, and now groan to remember the ones I let go.

 

[cosmicfolklore]

I have one, and what I like about the Ser Jacapos that I've handled is that when they want to make a large pipe, they really make it a LARGE pipe.

 

[Grumpy11]

OK I'll put one on my list. I've bought five Castello's this year so I'll wait a while. Been a little extravagant lately.

 

[irishearl]

My issue with SJ's, aside from being too expensive for me, is that I've seen few designs of theirs in recent years that attracted me. Their designs in past years were more to my liking. They do tend to do magnificent silver work, though.

 

[orlandofurioso]

I much cherish my older Coral Dot Ser Jacopo's , perfect engineering and aesthetically spot on !
So much Italian flair and boldness, very posh and slick. Unique little scuptures; applied art at its very best, like the very early Caminetto Ascorti Radice pipes . And then there is that perfect, elaborate fat silver work.
The later ones ( post 1997 ) do not so much speak to me.
Sorry, emotion gets the better of me now. I need a fresh tea.

 

[RonB]

One of my favorites.

If you liked them so much, why would you sell them???

I love mine, just got it, it’s pretty big
