Castello: Collection Fiammata Paneled Canadian (K) Tobacco Pipe

Founded in 1947 by Carlo Scotti, Castello's commitment to handcrafting high-quality pipes helped elevate the reputation of Italian pipes to luxury status. Furthermore, Castello's personal shaping approach to pipes helped cultivate the bowl-centric and whimsical Italian neoclassic aesthetic. One of the highest honors a Castello pipe can receive is the "Fiammata" stamp. Only adorning a handful of pipes every year, Fiammata pipes showcase extraordinary briar grain.

This paneled Canadian by Castello bears their "Fiammata" stamp, and the stunning grain more than earns the esteemed appellation. The panels display gorgeous straight grain and wavy growth rings, while birdseye coats the beveled, geometric rim and the bottom of the pipe, stretching from heel to stem. Moreover, the oval shank is broad and flat, providing space to drape a finger, and it horizontally tapers to the requisite tapered stem of the Canadian shape, fashioned from jet-black acrylic.
