Managed to get a pipe in before heading out for my weekly ivIG infusion. The Castello Collection Fiamatta circle K Grade with crushed stone accent. Keeping it smokey with my favorite tobacco, Esoterica Tilbury.

I don't believe the stone is crushed. Whatever, a gorgeous pipe.

Tilbury is my favourite, too. If you can find it, you must try JF Germain's Old Brown Sliced. It tastes very similar to Tilbury but a little darker in colour and in flake form. I'm guessing its like how Germain's produces both Stonehaven and Rich Dark Flake...almost the same, but not. Tilbury and OBS are almost the same, but not.

I covet a 55 like no-one's business and that's a beauty.

You are correct oldgeezersmoker the stones aren't crushed it's called a stone cluster adornment, here's a better photo.

Banjo, that is the nicest "non precious" stone work that I have ever seen on a Castello. Hands down.
Too bad it doesn't have any grain. LOL.
