Description from the seller
Elegant and refined Italian artisanal pipe Ser Jacopo Per Aspera Ad Astra R1, made in Pesaro according to the best Italian craftsmanship tradition.
The "Per Aspera Ad Astra" series represents one of Ser Jacopo's historic and most appreciated lines. The Latin motto, translatable as "Through difficulties to the stars", identifies a collection characterized by high build quality, carefully selected briar, and strong aesthetic personality.

The original black lucite mouthpiece bears the famous Ser Jacopo logo inlaid, a distinctive element and a guarantee of authenticity.
