About This Pipe

I have seen very, very few gold banded Castellos. There's not even a mention of gold bands on the Castello price list (which lists three or four different types of silver bands, various briar inlays etc). The gold band complements the elegant, beautifully grained bent billiard shape. The shape, while superficially almost English in its classicism, is Castello all the way: that slight forward cant the to bowl just makes the composition!
