Castello: 'Castello' Pot (KKKK) Tobacco Pipe

Product Number: 002-386-5840

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.

This Pot from Castello features the stout, broad bowl that often marks the shape, with a firm heel and flattened underside that enables the piece to sit quite sturdily, making it a rather robust desk pipe. The shank tapers gradually coming out of the low-slung, tight-knit transition before giving way to a sleek saddle stem. The shank and stem play more of a secondary role in the composition, meaning the bowl holds most of the visual weight in profile. The stummel wears a gorgeous, dark walnut smooth finish that accentuates some stellar birdseye on the rim and flame grain around the bowl.
