Cioffi's favorite etude book was the Labanchi Method, and Labanchi advocated playing with the reed up against the upper lip as a faster way to articulate. Throughout Europe, for a century, from the earliest days of the chalumeau and clarinet (1690s) till the 1790s, the reed up position was the norm. Crusell began his career playing this way and later learned the new way of playing--advocated by the Baermanns and other virtuosos--with the reed down as we do today. But in Italy, for at least another century, many players, like Labanchi, continued to prefer the reed up position.
That tradition does appear to be dead or moribund today.

Here are the first few pages of the original Italian language edition of the Labanchi method; the drawings on pages 5 and 6 show the reed up position preferred by the older generation of Italian players. https://clarinetcorner.wordpress.com/2013/05/05/mouthpiece-puzzle/
