The genesis of Mastro de Paja is one of the most peculiar ones in pipe history. Mastro de Paja was brought into being by a "consortium" of passionate pipe smokers, who had rallied around '''Terenzio Cecchini'''. They felt bitterly unhappy observing the general decline of the Italian and the rapid ascent of the Danish pipe in the 1960s and to beard this they set their mind on creating an "all-new and great" Italian pipe brand for high-value pipes. After all, a very patriotic and honorably intention. All these gentlemen were successful, well, wealthy to rich businessmen, but none of them possessed any knowledge about pipe making or experienced in the pipe business. Finally, this circle of amici elected Cecchini to be the CEO and left it to him to find a suitable pipe expert and get pipe fabrication started. Cecchini began to search and in 1970 he bumped into '''Giancarlo Guidi'''. | The genesis of Mastro de Paja is one of the most peculiar ones in pipe history.
