Castello: Collection Fiammata Billiard (KK) Tobacco Pipe

This Billiard from Castello exemplifies the Italian marque's penchant for neoclassic shaping in high-grade briar. With a stout bowl housing plenty chamber and a jutting heel paired to a comparatively slim shank and stem, the shaping on display is muscular but with a nod toward the old-school in its rather more reserved proportions. The tapered acrylic stem makes for a nice color contrast and comfortable smoking posture. This piece also boasts the Fiammata designation, reserved for Castello's finest examples of flame grain. The stummel on this pipe is dressed in Castello's Collection finish, letting the briar's flame grain blaze up and over the strong contours of this well-wrought Billiard. With such playful yet timeless style rendered in such fine materials, this pipe is sure to impress fans the Italian school.
