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 own two and both are large, bent Italian made pipes with lucite stems that are good smokers.
They are mostly a machine made pipe and have a few fills.
I suspect they are a sub brand, of something.
One of my very first pipes was a bent billiard from LaRocca. I think it was $60 (estate) from SPC.
I have a very tiny featherweight --- 16mm x 25mm chamber La Rocca --- nice for quick 15-20 minute smokes. No complaints.

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.
