The small Ser Jacopo shop produces approximately 6000 pipes per year.  The pipes are known for using outstanding Italian briar, which is well seasoned.  The pipes have earned a well-deserved reputation for having excellent smoking qualities, equal or better than any other fine Italian pipe maker (or, for that matter, any other pipe maker in the world).

Dating Ser Jacopo pipes is somewhat difficult, because Ser Jacopo does not generally use date codes (the exception being the Diamond Gemma series pipes, which are dated coded).  Early pipes (from 1983 to 1997) featured a red coral dot on the mouthpiece, sometimes found encircled in a silver ring.  This was discontinued and changed to a sterling silver letter "J".  On the Gemma series of pipes, the mouthpiece logo is a precious stone surrounded by an 18k gold ring.
