Italian Estates: Castello 'Castello' Billiard (KK) (2016) (Unsmoked) Tobacco Pipe

Literally translating to "nose burner," Brucianaso is an affectionate nickname for Castello's "10" Billiard. Sought after by collectors, like the Italian workshop's "55" bent Pot, the Brucianaso is a compact, fireplug of a smoker, packing a hearty amount of substance into a downsized form. Such robustness ensures a comfortable heft in hand, yet the abbreviated form prompts easy clenching and convenient traveling. The general form is relatively consistent across Castello's renditions — defined by a firm heel, upright bowl, and comparatively stout shank and transition — yet the finish and type of stem allows for a touch of individuality. This particular one wears the workshop's eponymous finish, fitted with a short, tapered mouthpiece.
