Old Antiquari Canadian (KKKK) Tobacco Pipe

A curious combination, this Castello old Antiquari presents an extra-stout Canadian shank, yet also a shortened, compact bowl more reminiscent of the Pot than anything else. As odd as it may seem at first glance, I have to say it's a design that's only grown on me the more of handled it, as it combines the handy bowl proportions of the Pot with a more refined look than its standard, round-shanked form, all while still maintaining a solid and sturdy feel.
