Italy / USA

According to our sources the Como series was produced by La Rocca (Italy) and Calabresi (USA). So it’s another nice example of the International collaboration, probably from Thomas Christiano. The shape is as simple as much practical and attractive at the same time, very similar to pipes being made by well known English manufacturers. The pipe has been restored to order.

The pipe marking is “COMO”. The length is 14.1 cm (5.55″), bowl’s height is 4.3 cm (1.69″). External diameter of the bowl is 3.8 cm (1.5″), internal diameter is 1.9 cm (0.75″). The depth is 3.3 cm (1.3″) and this pipe weights 49 gr. Briar, vulcanite stem, no filter.
