I have a very tiny featherweight --- 16mm x 25mm chamber La Rocca --- nice for quick 15-20 minute smokes. No complaints.



Unrelated but cool:

I have a LaRocca I paid 65 dollars for about 10 years ago. My dog got hold of it and did significant damage to it. I liked that pipe so much I sent it off to Briarville and spent 75 dollars having it repaired. I know it doesn’t make sense to a normal person but I could be happier. Great smoker!!!

I have 2 in rotation and they both smoke well. Imagine how many pipes are made and graded through to find the best quality for the various top name brands. All of those rejects with minor defects get sold off to lesser brands to keep the lights on and workers paid.

I’ve heard about La Rocca. Does anyone know where the history of the company be found? I can’t find a website for them.

I have one. Picked it up as a basket pipe from my local b&m . Pretty good smoker.
From my understanding they are a local budget pipe Maker from Italy.
