Tonino Jacono UNSMOKED Knight Black Rusticated Bent Brandy/ 360 Flame Grain/ Handmade Italy
Jacono creates his pipes one by one with the same passion that he had in 1981 when his father-in-law offered him his first job. He makes his pipes by hand, using only Lucite mouthpieces. He also uses Sterling Silver or precious woods for inlays. The majority of his pipes are sold in USA, but he is also represented in the most important stores in Europe, Russia, China and Japan.

Draft hole is dead center flush with the bottom of the chamber. Tenon to mortise union is sound, snug and flush. Pipe does not accept a filter. Pipe weighs approximately only 1 – 2/3

Regarding graining, the well-respected authority on the subject, Carl Ehwa, in his landmark book, Pipes & Tobaccos, writes:
“When selecting briar pipes, quality of wood and workmanship and the type of graining are the prime considerations. Pipes made of dense, straight grain wood …
have a tendency to absorb moisture much more slowly, which means they will smoke more sweetly and need to be rested less often. The bird's–eye, or end grain at the bottom of the bowl of a straight grain pipe absorbs moisture more quickly than other grains. Yet, because of its position, it allows the moisture to drain away from the tobacco and the channel, thus keeping the smoke dry.” ~ Pg 128
