Italian Estates: Castello Collection Fiammata Hawkbill (K) (Unsmoked) Tobacco Pipe

One of the most readily recognizable shapes in pipe making, the Hawkbill displays a generous bend, terminating in a crisp transition, with a robust Apple bowl perched on the end. This offering from Castello fits the form beautifully and displays streaks of windswept flame grain along the left flank highlighted by a warm, handsome stain with high contrast. It's fine grain has earned it the Italian workshop's Fiammata grade — a designation reserved for pieces that display choice flame grain. Presented unsmoked.
