This Talamona pipe, crafted by Croci Paolo, is an elegant contemporary interpretation of the Bulldog shape, made from smooth briar with a polished finish that highlights the warm, flame-like grain of the wood. The bowl, meticulously shaped, retains the classic diamond profile of the Bulldog but is reimagined with softer lines and a modern geometry that gives the piece a unique identity. The square shank, precisely aligned with the black acrylic stem, houses the Reverse Calabash system, which features an internal expansion chamber designed to cool and dry the smoke before it reaches the mouth. This technical feature significantly enhances the smoking experience, making it smoother and more aromatic. The contrast between the warm glow of the briar and the deep tone of the stem creates a piece that blends form, function, and artisanal refinement. A pipe for those who seek high performance, sophisticated design, and the unmistakable quality of Talamona tradition.
