Jacono Pipes are available in the following grades, denoted by chess (and poker) designations: | |||
Knight (fully rusticated) | |||
Bishop (partially rusticated) | |||
Rook (smooth) | |||
Jack (smooth) | |||
Queen (smooth) | |||
King (smooth) | |||
The difference between the Rook, Jack, Queen and King grades is the quality of the grain. An E appended to the designation (as in Queen E) seems to denote a plus. 'Checkmate' denotes a larger than usual size. Jacono's goal appears to be to offer beautifully grained pipes with no flaws; if flaws appear in the carving process, they are rusticated out. | |||
