Ardor Pipes

In 1911, the four brothers, Federico, Carlo, Cornelio and Francesco Rovera created the Rovera line of pipes. Angelo Rovera, Federico's son, and his son Dorelio began working together in the late 1950's and eventually combined their initials - AR(Angelo Rovera) + DOR(Dorelio Rovera) to create the ARDOR name. Together they combined years of talent and experience in crafting handmade (fatta a mano) pipes. Angelo passed away in December of 1999 and Dorelio Rovera and his son Damiano, are now both carrying on the fine Ardor tradition.

The single Ardor I own is a Fantasy Bulldog created by Damiano. It is a stunning piece, rusticated in a 'natural finish' which is slowly developing a nice patina. Fit and finish are absolutely flawless, it is amazing light for it's size and smokes better than most piece in my collection.

If you don't already own an Ardor Pipe, I encourage you to check them out and purchase one. You will not be disappointed.
