Castello: Collection Zulu with Silver Bamboo Ring (133.150) Tobacco Pipe

This particular Castello is a truly remarkable piece of craftsmanship from the Italian workshop and was fashioned as part of a limited-edition line. Serialized as number 133 out of 150 pieces, this Zulu design features a sterling silver band that depicts a bamboo motif. Shape-wise, it's quite a dynamic design, the bowl exhibiting a great deal of forward-urging momentum and paired to a gently bent, tapered stem. The tobacco chamber is generously deep and the grain orientation is superb, with streaks of vertical grain rising in concert with the bowl's flare to meet the broad rim and all of the beautiful birdseye that graces its surface. If you're a Castello collector, this is one you don't want to miss out on. Presented unsmoked.
