Sweet Smoke!Pipesart Group ABOUT THE ITEM SMOOTH LONG-BOWL REVERSE CALABASH SMOKING PIPE PIPE MEASUREMENT Length: 105 mm Height: 87 mmWeight: 79 gr Filter: NoneChamber Depth: 60 mm Shape: Reverse CalabashChamber Diameter: 22 mm Finish: SmoothMaterial: Briar Country: Italy ABOUT THE ARTIST Mauro Armellini stands for the true meaning of self-made and self-taught pipe makers. He started his pipe making career back in the early 1960s, working at the famous Italian pipe factory "Rossi". Years later, and when the Rossi factory shut its door, Armellini moved to Savinelli where he stood out immediately. He perfected the rustication technique and till today some of the most famous rusticated finishes, such as the "Roccia" and the "Corallo" exist only thanks to him. He worked for Savinelli for several years and till the day he realised that he decided to create his own workshop and make pipes under his own name. At those times, and in spite of the fact that the pipe market was huge, it was a big risk to start his own pipe brand, due to the costs involved and the difficulty of obtaining the right equipment and tools. Once the name Armellini found its rightful place on a piece of briar, Armellini never looked back. Thanks to his friend and neighbour, Alberto Paronelli, he was able to attract foreign markets, such as the US one and that of other European countries. Armellini's four daughters slowly and gradually became involved in the business by lending their dad a helping hand whenever possible. However, it was Wilma that became truly interested in the business and gradually became her father's right hand, not only in the administrative aspect of the business, but also, and above all, the actual pipe making in all its various stages. Indeed, and many years later, Armellini retired from full-time pipe making, and it was Wilma who took over. When Armellini passed away recently, it was natural, and yet very difficult, for Wilma to decide and continue the Armellini production, according to her father's own standards and vision. What encouraged her is the fact that for over 20 years she had been making pipes, from A to Z, and so, she knew that the quality Armellini has always been known for could and would continue. Today, in the small town Barasso, in northern Italy, Wilma and her 20-year-old son are running the workshop and producing all of the Armellini pipes. Matteo, Wilma's son, is an enthusiastic young man with a love for pipes and pipe making that he could have only inherited from his grandfather. He's determined to carry on and keep alive his grandfather's pipe making tradition while creating new shapes and finishes that he is confident his grandfather would be proud of. Today the name Armellini bears the dreams, the dedication, the passion, and the pipe making talent and expertise of three different generations, united by one objective: Offering the best pipes possible, out of the best material possible, at the lowest price possible.
