New Additions...

[jacko]

Three new additions added this week. I'm a big fan of Jacono pipes, the few I have have been wonderfully crafted.

Jacono Knight

Kevin Arthur

Ardor Meteora

I like all three pipes, but the Tonino Jacono is special: great fninish and shape on a very nice bowl. It´s not often, that I find Jaconos pipes that plain and beautiful.

Congratulations and kind regards

I'd agree, that Jacono is a beauty.

Beautiful pipes. I'm a big fan of Italian pipes and these certainly are gems. Never had a Kevin Arthur, but you can see the craftmanship in this piece of briar.

Congratulations and happy smoking!

Yes, to the Jacono!
It does have kind of a Castello vibe to it...

All three of those are beauties but that Kevin Arthur really got my attention. Lovely and graceful. Is that olivewood on the stem??

Very nice, I also really like the Jacono!

Love the Ardor Meteora. I can imagine smoking that while listening to "Pictures at an Exhibition", because that's what it reminds me of.

Great suggestion, Steve - and yes, this looks like a pipe, I would smoke on a vernissage for example. The longer I look at this piece, the more I like it.

Kind regards

The Ardor was a steal on eBay @ $150. The auction was trending low and I knew it could be had for sub $175. The Meteora is my favorite finish from Ardor's and there is something to be said about the finish on the simplicity of the Canadian shape. I like Ardor but I find most of their stuff over the top.

I'm very happy with the Kevin Arthur pipe. Excellent smoking, beautiful finish. I will definitely look to buy another one of his in the future. I really enjoy the uncoated bowls.

One of my first few eBay pipes was an estate Jacono which sat at the back of my pipe rack for a few years for no reason other than being a straight pot and I was going through a bent phase. When I was overhauling my collection I took a careful look at the pipe and smoked a few bowls and was blown away with the level of craftsmanship so I had to find another to see if the one I owned was a fluke and I'm happy to report that it wasn't. Its easy to tell they have been make by the hands of a perfectionist.

I am unfamiliar with Jacono pipes, but your example is truly beautiful. Many happy smokes!

I love them all but lean more towards the Jacono Knight, how long is it? almost looks like a nose warmer.

Great pipe selection. The more I collect the more I have gravitated towards the old classical shapes. The Ardor is reminiscent of a Castello 33 shape and is really nice. The sandblast finish on the Kevin Arthur pipe and the design looks super. Congrats on some fine choices.

Very Nice. I luv the Ardor Meteora best.
