Anybody has a Chioggiotta clay pipes. First of all some history. Chioggia is a city near Venice which for centuries was a center of production of clay pipes. Today there is 1 remaining artisan making them and the link of his shop is
http://www.pipachioggiotta.it/
Unfortunately for you the site is in italian (I am italian so no problem with it) but you can navigate it and looking at their pictures. I am just wondering if anybody as any of them and if they like. I have a great experience with the Lepeltier clay pipes and some of these look similar as double walled as the Lepeltier so they don't get too hot. Interestingly they have a stem made of wood, not sure how good it is in practice but it could be easily changed with another one.
So I am just curiuos if anybody tried as I might want to get one, probably a double walled or a calabash model.
