Description from the seller
Elegant and refined Italian handcrafted pipe Ser Jacopo Per Aspera Ad Astra R1, made in Pesaro according to the best Italian manufacturing tradition.
The series "Per Aspera Ad Astra" represents one of the historic and most appreciated lines of Ser Jacopo production. The Latin motto, translatable as "Through difficulties to the stars," identifies a collection characterized by high build quality, carefully selected briar, and a strong aesthetic personality.
The presented specimen features a splendid deep rustication enhanced by a warm flame red ruby finish that accentuates the natural grain of the briar. The smooth, polished portions create a refined color contrast with the rusticated surface.
The original black shiny lucite mouthpiece bears the famous Ser Jacopo logo set into it, a distinctive element and guarantee of authenticity.
