Castello Collection Fiammata Great Line Bent Dublin with Silver Band (KKK) (2008) (Unsmoked) Tobacco Pipe

Castello Collections are prized pieces. All the more so, a Collection Great Line. Or a Collection Fiammata. But put all three together, and you have something very, very rarefied indeed - a piece of a grade which even the Castello workshop only sees a few, very few, times each year. In fact, we've only ever carried one, single, solitary example new from the workshop, and but a scattering of examples acquired as estates - and that's over the course of more than a decade of actively seeking to get our hands on pieces like this. Looking here, you can see why we've gone through the effort; exquisite shaping, flawless briar, gorgeous grain, tight plateau - this silver-mounted beauty is one which would truly be at home amongst the very finest collections.
