Description from the seller
Elegant and refined Italian handmade artisan pipe Ser Jacopo Per Aspera Ad Astra R1, crafted 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 specimen proposed features a splendid deep rustic finish embellished by a warm ruby red flame that enhances the natural pattern of the briar. The polished smooth parts create a refined color contrast with the rustic surface.
The original black glossy acrylic stem bears the famous Ser Jacopo logo inset, a distinctive element and guarantee of authenticity.
