Collection Occhio di Pernice Billiard (KK) (2025) 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 exquisite pipes like this Occhio de Pernice Billiard.

Sure to please fans of the Italian neoclassical carving style, this offering boasts a tall, stately bowl that towers over a low-set, arrow-straight shank and sleek saddle stem. The sleekness of the shank-and-stem arrangement maintains all the visual focus on the bowl, which houses a generously deep chamber within its thick, insulating walls. The stummel has been treated to a smooth, glossy finish and a deep mahogany stain, both of which emphasize the exceptional birdseye that earned this piece Castello's coveted Occhio di Pernice designation.
