Italian Estates: Castello Collection Great Line Bent Dublin (KKK) (2011) Tobacco Pipe

Castello boasts a pipe-making history that dates back to 1947, when Carlo Scotti established the workshop in Italy. The well-respected shop has since been fashioning high-quality briar into delightfully shaped, finished, precisely engineered smoking instruments that are sought by legions of loyal fans. A fetching showcase of the Italian firm's style, this bent Dublin boasts a tall bowl that flares from its firm heel to its broad, plateau-crowned rim. The bowl houses a capacious chamber within its muscular frame, ensuring plenty of long, leisurely smoking sessions, which the fluidly bent shank-and-stem arrangement will deftly aid. A smooth finish dresses the stummel and highlights sweeping flame grain across the bowl's flanks.
