Castello: Sea Rock Briar Billiard (KK) Tobacco Pipe

One of the biggest names in Italian pipe making today, Castello's roots can be traced back to 1947, when Carlo Scotti founded the workshop and began producing handmade briar pipes. In a time of quantity over quality in Italy's pipe-making history, Scotti flipped the script by prioritizing craftsmanship, high-quality materials, and cutting-edge engineering. Today, the brand remains committed to these principles, producing impeccably made pipes like this Sea Rock Billiard

This offering is rendered in reserved proportions that hew closer to that of Anglo-French offerings. The tall bowl sits at the fore of the composition with a proud, upright posture and a firm heel. The bowl is joined by a long, lean shank-and-stem arrangement, and together they create chiseled profile. The stummel of this offering wears Castello's Sea Rock finish, replete with craggy rustication and a rich, dark color palette.
