Help Identifying A Castello

[Mike N]

Can anyone help me identify the model and year of issue for this Castello pipe from the silver band nomenclature? Thx

I believe this is the "Lake Como" special edition commemorating the 55th anniversary of Tabaccheria Corti, a sponsor of this forum and one of the best outlets for Castello pipes. Tabaccheria Corti commissioned 55 pipes from Castello to commemorate their anniversary in 2021. You appear to have #49 of 55, although it's hard to read.

Castello is up in rarified air for a pipe manufacturer.
