The Calabresi line of pipes were produced by Thomas Cristiano in Tampa, Florida. A sub-brand of Calabresi was Londonaire. The pipes were stamped "Calabresi" and generally bore a letter C on the stem. The Londonaire pipes were apparently made in both England and Italy, stamped Londonaire, and had an anchor on the stem.
