Castello: Collection Bent Billiard (KKKK) Tobacco Pipe

Since their founding in 1947 by Carlo Scotti, Castello's commitment to handcrafting high-quality pipes has helped elevate the reputation of Italian pipes to luxury status. Furthermore, Castello's personal shaping approach to pipes has helped cultivate the bowl-centric and whimsical Italian neoclassic aesthetic. A more conservative showcase of Castello's shaping style, this bent Billiard measures less than five inches in total length, making it a rather compact take on the classic form. That being said, this piece sacrifices nothing in terms of substance, with a palpable muscularity evident across the bowl and shank alike. The brawny stummel is paired to a demurely curved tapered stem that adds a touch of gesture to the shape's profile and promotes a comfortable smoking posture. The gorgeous honey-blonde Collection smooth finish completes the ensemble and highlights sweeping flame grain across the bowl's flanks.
