Castello: Collection Fiammata Billiard (K) Tobacco Pipe

A particularly robust take on the Billiard, this Castello pipe embodies the Italian workshop's affinity for crafting neoclassic pieces from high-quality, select briar. Displaying the thick walls and stout shaping often seen in the Pot design, this Collection design is defined by its plateau-crowned bowl and firm, jutting heel. Certainly a bowl-centric offering, it's marked in back by a far more slender, gradually tapering shank and abbreviated stem. A solid Sitter, this piece boasts a Fiammata stamp, reserved for Castello's finest examples of flame grain, with the whispery tendrils flickering toward the rim.
