Italian Estates: Castello Sea Rock Briar Bent Billiard (KKKK) (Pi) Tobacco Pipe

It's interesting that Castello would stamp this rather muscular rendition of their signature "11" Brandy Brucianaso design with "Sea Rock." The finish is mostly smooth, and the rustication adorning the underside of the bowl and shank is distinct from the uniformly craggy rustication they use on the Sea Rock finish — more of a carved, channeling technique than the crisp, rock-like texture you'd expect. Either way, it's certainly a neat way to present one of the workshop's most charming and beloved shapes, offering a firm, substantial, yet quite stimulating feel in hand.
