New Talamona Reverse "Calabash" Pipe - In Light Ash Wood with Root Burl Bowl

Innovation Meets Nature: Talamona Reverse in Ash

We’re adding a true marvel of engineering applied to slow smoking to our showcase, rigorously new and proudly Italian. Created by artisan Paolo Croci for the renowned brand Talamona, the "Reverse" line revolutionizes the concept of a cool smoke. This model, moreover, stands out for its particularly fascinating choice of materials.

Ash Wood and Briar Insert

The entire pipe body is expertly turned from light ash wood: an exceptionally lightweight, porous material with spectacular concentric grain, left natural with a smooth, light finish that highlights its "zebra" pattern.

Since pure ash could burn on direct contact with the embers, the center of the bowl houses a fine briar insert (inner bowl), a clever technical detail that ensures excellent heat resistance while preserving the ash exterior. The shape is a slender, rounded Pot/Dublin, easy to handle and well balanced.

The "Reverse Calabash" System

The real secret of this Talamona is hidden inside its substantial shank. The "Reverse Calabash" system features a dedicated expansion chamber between the bowl and the mouthpiece: before reaching the mouth, the smoke expands into this empty chamber (similar to that of classic gourd Calabash pipes), cooling dramatically and depositing excess moisture. The result is an incredibly sweet, dry, cool smoke.

Conical Mouthpiece and Condition

This engineering marvel is completed by a short, conical mouthpiece in black methacrylate, whose tenon seals the expansion chamber (open draw, without a filter).

This Talamona Reverse in Ash is a brand-new, never-smoked pipe. A masterpiece of craftsmanship and materials, ideal for those seeking the excellence of a "Calabash" smoke in a modern, natural design.
