Castello: Perla Nera Bent Apple (KK) Tobacco Pipe

Boasting the neoclassic proportions and quality craftsmanship for which it's known, Castello presents an Apple with a Prince-like bend of shank and stem. The rounded, palm-filling bowl displays the iconic firm, gently protruding heel that's a signature for the Italian workshop, while the aforementioned far more svelte shank-and-stem arrangement rises gently then turns down demurely at the bit. The stummel is dressed in the glossy, ebony stain of the Perla Nera ("Black Pearl") finish, while the jet-black stem matches that tone beautifully and seamlessly. A trim band of natural briar by the shank end lends smooth contrast.
