Italian Estates: Castello 'Castello' Paneled Billiard (KKKK) Tobacco Pipe

Since their founding in 1947 by Carlo Scotti, Castello's commitment to handcrafting high-quality pipes has helped elevate the reputation of Italian pipes to luxury status. Furthermore, Castello's personal shaping approach to pipes has helped cultivate the bowl-centric and whimsical Italian neoclassic aesthetic. This paneled Billiard by Castello possesses a robust bowl, which is framed by four crisp panels that meet at rounded edges, slightly softening the muscular shape. Furthermore, a pronounced ridgeline runs along the underside of the shank and transition, adding a structural flourish to the profile. Additionally, the stummel is dressed in the eponymous "Castello" smooth finish, which highlights sweeping grain on the bowl's walls and tightly packed birdseye on the rim and underside.
