Italian Estates: Castello Trademark Oom Paul (G) (Unsmoked) Tobacco Pipe

From the mind of Italian artisan Carlo Scotti, Castello was founded in 1947 to offer handmade pipes that exude quality in both form and function. Working together with Luigi Radice and Peppino Ascorti, the three would serve as key innovators in defining Italian neoclassical pipe design. This Oom Paul from Castello renders the classic shape with a strapping physique, with plenty of substance about the bowl for a thoroughly neoclassic design. The bowl stands tall with an upright posture, housing a deep chamber within its thick, straight walls that's sure to provide plenty of leisurely smoking sessions. Paired to the bowl out back is a muscular, sharply upturned shank that carries a continuous taper into smartly bent stem, the arrangement's sinuous posture allowing this piece to hang comfortably from the jaw. Castello's smooth Trademark finish dresses the stummel in a fetching walnut stain that reveals handsome birdseye across the right flank.
