    Castello 55 vs 65 Black Searock And Where To Buy

    Well, I had a change of mind in the last minute and went for the 65 2k. I just like the shape of the 65 more. If I will go for another Castello, that will be a 55 for sure.

    Why Own Small Pipes?

    I am wondering if smaller pipe sizes were more popular in the past? The szandard bowl size seems to be +- group size 4. Was it always the case? I personally like smaller pipes. Considering focusing on size 3 pipes instead if 4.
