The Talamona brand was born in 1970, the fruit of the labours of Cesare Talamona, an artisan based in Oltrona (VA).

With his “Pipatt”, he helped to make the craftsmanship of Lake Varese known all over the world. His “Talamona” brand soon became famous, far and wide, due to his skill and creativity in crafting large pipes.

Once Cesare withdrew from the market at the venerable age of 85 years old, and not wanting to end his work of “high Italian crafts”, he thought well to entrust everything to Paolo Croci, and in 2007 Paolo acquired the brand. In 2010, limited production of the brand resumed, respecting the will and skills of Cesare Talamona.

To this day, his pipes are all handmade from the highest quality briar and always generous in size.

Within Talamona pipes you can always recognise the creativity and the hand of Paolo. Both Cesare and Paolo believe: “every pipe has a soul which is found by those who buy it.”
