Italian Estates: Castello Collection Dublin Las Vegas 2014 (12.20) (Unsmoked) Tobacco Pipe

Product Number: 004-006-43588

Founded in 1947 by Carlo Scotti, Castello's commitment to handcrafting high-quality pipes helped elevate the reputation of Italian pipes to luxury status. Furthermore, Castello's approach to shaping helped cultivate the bowl-centric and whimsical Italian neoclassic aesthetic. One of 20 Dublins made as part of a special series for the one of Las Vegas' tobacco trade shows in 2014, likely the IPCPR, this Dublin is an impressively hearty piece. The transition is wide, with ample room to drape a digit, and it gives way to a stout shank that tapers toward a similarly tapering stem of black acrylic. This combination, though diminishing consistently toward the button, balances the bowl well thanks to its ample thickness. Up front, said bowl stands on a round, muscular heel, where a unique carving surrounds the bowl mid-way up its lower walls. This carving surrounds the bowl with a flame-like carving and creates a cinched effect around the walls before they flare out to a broad rim. Below the carved section of the bowl and all through the shank, this pipe is rusticated, while the upper walls of the bowl are smooth and showcase flickering flame grain.
