Hello Castello savants,
I am trying to do some research on Castello pipes in general and especially on their Epoca line. It appears to me, that there is not much detailed serious information out there about this brand. All I can find is things like explanations of their stamps and grading systems.
One bit of information especially caught my attention. The great Fishnbanjo wrote the following about Epocas here on Pipesmagazine:
„I was the schooled on the fact that not all Castello Epoca pipes were of the Drip Wax finish of which around 100 were made, there was another finish which is called Rock Face and less than 50 of these were made.“
Sadly he is no longer there to be asked, but I‘m really keen to know, where one could source such kind of knowledge? Searching the Internet for terms like „Rock Face“ or searching for production numbers only leads to his post as a result, but as he said he was schooled by doing research, there must be any source of this kind of knowledge...
Do you have any idea where to source such kind of or exactly that bit of knowledge?
Thanks!
