Italian Estates: Castello Collection Bent Apple (KK) (2022) Tobacco Pipe

This bent Apple by Castello is a thoroughly muscular take on the traditional form, offering a plump, full-bodied bowl, a thick shank, and a demurely curved tapered stem. The bowl's broad heel tapers gradually toward the rim, and as it does, it takes on a low-set waistline that conforms naturally to the hand. The vaulted shank-and-stem arrangement lends a touch of gesture to the shape's silhouette and promotes a comfortable smoking posture from which to enjoy the bowl's healthy chamber. Dressed in an auburn-toned smooth finish, the stummel offers a wealth of attractive grain.
