Castello: 'Castello' Billiard (KK) Tobacco Pipe

Castello's vaunted pipe-making history dates from 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. This 'Castello' Billiard is a fine example of the artisans' talents, its tall, stout bowl with its firm heel being the focal point of the composition in true Italian style. It's poised at the end of a sleek stretch of shank and stem configured in army mount style, the lithe length lending a physical balance. The stummel is dressed in a warm chestnut hue, highlighting handsome integrations of cross grain and birdseye.
