Wow, Chris, you sure do buy a lot of pipes, lol. Very nice. You can't go wrong with Castellos. I have a couple of OAs and they are fantastic smokers. Now, I will admit that I am not normally drawn to OAs - I prefer Castello Sea Rocks or smooth pipes. Generally, I am not a huge fan of Castello blasts and find them to be a bit anemic at times. Sometimes they do have wonderful blasts though - and this is an example of that. I just wish more OAs had a nice, deep rich blast. Generally, I find this to be true of most Italian pipes, except for a few brands/makers. No idea why this is the case.
