Ok, I will admit I now own this one. I am a horse-racing nut and own, along with one of my partners, three race horses. So when I saw this pipe, I simply couldn't resist. I told my wife that this is the 10th anniversary present she should get me, and she made the purchase. I plan on taking this to the track for the next race. According to the smokingpipes website:
The "il Cavallo di Castello" was a special, 125-pipe edition created in 2011, dedicated to the horse as a symbol of both earthly and spiritual power, and the exhilaration and feeling of liberty found in practicing the art of riding. Suffice to say, these briars, each bearing a special, series-specific silver band, are not exactly easy to find. Truth be told, even though they were produced two years ago this is still the first and only example we've ever seen.
Length: 5.81 in./147.57 mm.
Weight: 1.70 oz./48.19 g.
Bowl Height: 1.98 in./50.29 mm.
Chamber Depth: 1.65 in./41.91 mm.
Chamber Diameter: 0.79 in./20.07 mm.
Outside Diameter: 1.39 in./35.31 mm.
