About This Pipe

Evidently at some point in the past the Old Antiquari stamp was rather less specific, as this isn't the first older Castello I've come across bearing the O.A. stamping and a rusticated, rather than sandblasted finish. If anything, the texture of this Eisenhower-era briar is even deeper and more rugged than the modern Sea Rock, providing lots of pleasing nooks and crannies, crags and valleys for fidgeting fingers to explore.
