Il Duca Pipe: Difference between revisions

Soon, he started putting to practice everything he had learned about pipe making, and when it was time for him to choose a name to give to his pipes, he didn't hesitate to use the name "Duca", which is the name of his medieval birth city (Ferrara). Once the brand name was established, Max decided to go a step further in honoring his city by using aristocratic titles as the base for his grading system.  

Max uses the best materials he can find, from mouthpiece rods, to inserts, to briarwood. He gets his wood from three different regions in Italy, and then he lets it dry out for at least 2 to 3 years before he shapes it into pipes. He loves experimenting with as many materials as he possibly can; he makes mouthpieces out of a wide range of materials, such as acrylic, vulcanite, horn, and Cumberland, and inserts out of boxwood, silver, and bamboo.
