Introduction
Talamona
Pipe making was a familial tradition for Cesare Talamona, whose father spent the 1920s crafting pipes for friends, eventually earning a reputation as a skilled artisan. At the age of 15, Cesare joined the family business, honing his skills and preparing to continue the legacy. In 1970, Cesare established his own brand, “Talamona,” in Oltrona, Italy. His large, quality handcrafted pipes, characterized by creative flair, quickly found favor in the European market. As Cesare approached retirement in 2007, he entrusted his friend Paolo Croci with continuing the brand’s legacy. Production resumed under Paolo’s stewardship in 2010, with his pipes maintaining the ingenuity and style synonymous with Talamona, ensuring the brand’s enduring reputation for unique designs and exceptional craftsmanship.

This range presents a more compact and manageable size and weight compared to traditional designs. Among its offerings is a superb quarter-bent apple with a smooth natural finish or the poker shape in stunning Sandlast, featuring small dimensions, and a Black Acrylic Mouthpiece.
