About This Pipe
Carlo Scotti brought the Castello brand to life in the late 1940s, crafting his pipes in the same shadow of the Alps as the likes of Savinelli and the Rovera family. Scotti's workshop would eventually yield the independent workshops of Caminetto and Radice, both founded by former Castello artisans, but the Castello tradition continues today with the neoclassic designs that make northern Italy such an influential player in the industry of pipe making.
High, straight flame grain decorates this bent Dublin from Castello all around, leaving only the top and underside of the shank to patches of birdseye. Plateau dots the rim of the very muscular bowl, giving it an asymmetrical but organic look. The shank is mildly upturned and ovoid, spreading widely from the aft of the bowl into a black acrylic stem, also lightly bent in close proximity to the bit. The stummel is finished smoothly and stained a light walnut hue, allowing the grain to shine through effortlessly. The fine line work and excellent grain make this a truly special pipe, one that will satisfy fans of Castello, fans of Italian briarwork, and even just fans of the Dublin in any of its forms.
