Talamona L'Artigiano Straight Billiard 119
Model 119 combines the traditional straight billiard profile with a polished, dark-stained briar bowl. The finish retains visible variations in the wood, ranging from deep brown to warmer reddish tones, particularly around the heel and lower shank.
Its bowl has near-parallel walls, a flat rim and a rounded base. A long, straight shank meets a glossy black tapered stem, separated by a slim silver-coloured ring. The fishtail mouthpiece completes the conventional billiard arrangement.
Talamona originated in the Varese region of northern Italy under Cesare Talamona during the 1970s. Pipe maker Paolo Croci acquired the brand in 2007, subsequently continuing production under the established name. The manufacturer offers both traditional shapes and more individual designs, with briar selection and finishing remaining central to its work.
The L'Artigiano 119 offers a classic pipe silhouette with the visual depth of dark-stained, polished briar. Its straight construction also makes routine stem cleaning straightforward.
