About This Pipe

The Castello "92" and "93" shapes, both being slender-stemmed, deeply-bent Egg designs, are easily amongst the most sought-after of their shaping chart, not to mention also being two of the most instantly recognizable. Mutually elegant, easy in hand, well-balanced and deep-chambered, there's little surprise they claim such a following. Here we find quite a fine example of the "92", which is denoted by its lighter, more pronounced style of transition and shank, compared to the "93"s completely smooth, heavier take. As an Occhio di Pernice, this piece of course also features plenty of birdseye.
