Line : Testarossa (Limited Edition 2018) Ferrule : Copper Size : Medium Finishing: Smooth Shape : Cherrywood Stand Up Mouthpiece : Methacrylate Smoke of London Rim : Smooth The Talamona brand was born in the 70s, the result of the work of Cesare Talamona, a well-known craftsman from Oltrona (VA) who contributed to making the craftsmanship of Lake Varese known throughout the world with his "Pipatt". Talamona immediately established itself as a brand abroad for its creativity and for the generous dimensions of its pipes. Once Cesare withdrew from the market at the venerable age of 85, not wanting to stop his work of "high Italian craftsmanship", he thought it best to entrust everything to Paolo Croci who bought the brand in 2007 and from 2010 began a limited production of pieces respecting the wishes of Cesare Talamona. Even today the pipes are of high quality, entirely handmade and of generous dimensions. In the Talamona pipes it is always possible to recognize Paolo's inspiration and creative hand. As it was for Cesare also for Paolo "every pipe has a soul and whoever buys it finds himself".
