La Fortezza Pipe, Any idea

[arabpipesmoker]

Hi Ladies and Gent's
During my business trip to Florence,Italy i was hunting for tobacco and Pipe was not in my TAD list until i came across this cheap pipe that i liked

unfortunately, haven't found any review nor article about the brand and though no one can help other than you guy's.
as per the salesman it's Italian made in place i can't recall and that i all know about the pipe.
Please share your experience if you own one.
My experience: it's smokes wonderful with effortless draw, bowl get hot if you push the pipe further but still not sure is it the pipe ot the tobacco as i was breaking the pipe while tasting new blends.
Thanks all

That's the Aldo Velani crest on the silver work. They (it is not a person actually) make a broad range of pipes from rather common to really quite lovely. Most of mine smoke exceedingly well. The drilling is good and the draw just what I like.
