Talamona L'Artigiano Straight Billiard 101

There's something reassuring about a traditional Straight Billiard. It's a shape that has served pipe smokers admirably for generations, and the Talamona L'Artigiano 101 demonstrates why there's still plenty of life in the old designs.

Made in Italy from briar, this pipe features a tall, gently rounded bowl, a straight shank and a slender black tapered stem. Its dark finish reveals an appealing mixture of textured grain and subtle tooling marks, giving the pipe an individual, handcrafted appearance. A narrow green accent ring adds a welcome dash of colour.

The Billiard is a practical shape, comfortable to handle and straightforward to maintain. Its familiar proportions have made it a favourite among experienced smokers and newcomers alike.

Talamona's roots lie in the pipe-making traditions of northern Italy. The name became particularly associated with Cesare Talamona, whose distinctive briar pipes earned an international following. Today, the marque continues under artisan Paolo Croci, preserving its Italian craftsmanship.

A handsome, traditional pipe with just enough personality to distinguish it from the crowd. The green band is a particularly pleasing touch.
