Castello: Pezzo Unico Collection Fiammata Great Line Bent Dublin (19.10.2023) Tobacco Pipe
Product Number: 002-386-5650
With a layered history dating back to 1947, Castello is known as one of the first Italian brands to separate from the conventional English and French shape charts to help create the Italian neoclassical style seen today. Translating to "castle" in English, founder Carlo Scotti chose the name Castello to be recognized in several European languages. The marque eventually combined with Radice and Ascorti and was one of the first brands to provide high-quality handmade pipes to the general public. Leading shaping in Italy, Castello is now considered one of the most iconic pipe manufacturers in the world.
Translating to "unique piece" in English, the Pezzo Unico series comprises the best pieces within Castello's portfolio. As one might expect, these pipes are incredibly rare, as they display perfect shaping and impeccable grain. Only a limited number of pipes will ever receive this designation and most wind up staying in Castello's own museum as exceptional examples of the marque's work - and not for sale. In addition to falling within the prestigious Pezzo Unico series, this bent Dublin from Castello has also earned the "Fiammata" designation, reserved only for those pipes that display fantastic flame grain. If all that wasn't enough, this pipe also belongs to the Great Line series, thanks to its incredible dimensions.
Shape-wise, this bent Dublin is blatantly neoclassical, measuring almost eight inches long and featuring a bowl approaching three inches tall. Said bowl is shaped by ten fluting channels across its flanks, all rising from a lifted heel toward a plateau-crowned rim. Nestled within the bowl is a tobacco chamber nearly two inches deep, ensuring plenty of leisurely and lengthy smoking sessions. The transition lends ample room to wrap the thumb, and it gives way to a comparatively lithe shank-and-stem arrangement out back, the pair gradually bending toward the bit. The sleek mouthpiece is cut from jet-black acrylic, its inky complexion juxtaposing the honey-hues of the stummel's Collection finish, which highlights the aforementioned flicks of flame grain across the bowl.
Pipes within the Pezzo Unico series are presented in their own custom-made, lined box and come with a signed certificate of authenticity. This certificate states that the pipe was completed on October 19th, 2023, and was carved from a specially aged piece of Tuscan briar.
