    Dan Tobacco Salty Dogs/Castello 55

    Thanks for that excellent and entertaining review. I have a fair stash of Salty Dogs and more than a handful of 55s, but until now, I never paired them. I'm going to remedy that for my next smoke. For me there is absolutely nothing wrong with the aesthetics of a 55, and they fit so well in the...

    Another Italian Pipe Shipment Hit With Customs and Duties Charges.

    Going the other way across the pond, my experience is that 90% of all packages get inspected and taxed. Only the odd package escapes, so I just add a mental 25% to any purchases from US sellers (100% if content is tobacco... sigh).

    Well not quite. But here in Copenhagen I do see someone smoking a pipe in public once or twice per month.

    Let's See Your Magnum/House Pipes

    Beautiful Morettis, and that Barling is just stunning. Here's my biggest one. A Castello dublin in le dune finish. The last picture is next to a standard size model 55 for size comparison.

    Castello 55

    That is interesting. I now checked the stamping on a shape 16, I just received from Bolito, and it also has the same stamp. With a closer look it seems more like B15 to me though.

    What Is So Great About Castellos

    @lukasstrifeson; that's a great looking pair! I have the same shape in a fume top sea rock finish. A wonderful smoker.

    Castello 55

    Congratulations with the 55, they are great smokers. The letter is usually a stamp for the shop from where it was originally sold. There is a good list here (it has the "B" though not the "45"): http://www.briarblues.com/castello.htm
