Castello: 'Castello' Canadian (G) Tobacco Pipe

This Castello offers up a bold Italian neoclassical take on the traditional Canadian that features a tall, robust Billiard bowl with a firm, slightly protruding heel. It's paired to a lengthy oval shank that tapers ever so slightly toward its abbreviated stem, serving to further place the visual weight of the piece on its hearty bowl. The "G" stamp is one of the workshop's largest size designations, denoting pieces on par with house pipes in their increased bowl height and chamber depth, and this piece certainly delivers in those areas. Dressed in a glossy, auburn stain, a beautiful array of windswept grain and birdseye adorn the bowl's flanks.
