In this situation '''Giannino Spadoni''', an Italian businessman already commercially connected with Mastro de Paja, became something of a sheet anchor for the beleaguered company. Starting around 1982 he had the highly esteemed design pipe, '''Fiamma di Re''', manufactured by Mastro de Paja. Additionally the Contessa, a favorable bargain pipe, was also made for him. The Fiamma di Re quietly disappeared in 1989. Since 1990 Spadoni has been distributor for [[Dunhill]] in Italy. | In this situation '''Giannino Spadoni''', an Italian businessman already commercially connected with Mastro de Paja, became something of a sheet anchor for the beleaguered company.
