  • CASSANO 957

    Italy An Italian “electrical pipe” inspired by St Claude! Gerolamo Ceresa began at the end of the XIX century as a subcontractor for Rossi Factory (Barasso), but soon (1919) he founded new own very modern operated electrically (!) factory under the name “Gerolamo Ceresa – Fabbrica elettrica pipe”.

  • THOMSON Special 027

    Italy – USA The pipe made for the Thompson Cigar Co., established in 1915, of Tampa, Florida. It seems the majority of pipes for this tobacconist were made at Big Ben in Netherlands and in Turkey (meerschaum), but some experts mentioned that Savinelli produced pipes for Thomson too. So, perhaps this is exactly that case.

  • COMO

    Italy / USA According to our sources the Como series was produced by La Rocca (Italy) and Calabresi (USA).

  • Jean Claude

    Italy Despite the name it’s not a French pipe, rather an Italian one. However such affodable and reliable pipes are quite frequently represented in pipe shops in many Europian cities and from own experience we can say Jean Claude can serve as a good first pipe or an undemanding everyday device for many practical smokers….
