About This Pipe

One very impressive example of Castello's work, this Collection Fiammata presents us with a simply massive rendition of the neoclassical bent Billiard, with a broad, towering bowl followed by a thick, yet beautifully fluid shank and stem. The shaping is exceptional in its own right, yet Castello did not stop there, with the briar this piece was fashioned from making good use of the substantial canvas provided, displaying lush flame grain covering both flanks. Then of course, there's the sheer, cavernous immensity of the tobacco chamber to consider.
