A Monster Castello

[Sigmund]

I purchased a Ser Jacopo Maxima. It was a unique shape and looked cool in the photos. When I got it the thing was just a big brown thing. I ended up sending it back and getting something different. As said, everyone has different tastes but I think some designs and finishes dont hold up to any scale.

I found it rather ugly to say nothing of its size. It's friggin' huge.

It is truly FUGLY. That being said, I once had a Zippo knock-off of the same proportions. It took an entire can to fill and you could use it as a camp stove.

Said pipe should come with an integrated neck brace.

Stumbled upon this prehistoric behemoth when pipe searching, thought it could be interesting.

Don't do it! Perhaps for a novelty, but certainly not for enjoying tobacco.

Why not?

Why not?

You are unique. You like the odd, huge and grotesque.

There are a couple here who's pipes dwarf mine. A few members have expressed interest in the pipe in question though being a Castello I'd likely not buy it. I do like the size of it though. I may check if any of my carver friends can do a fair recreation of it.

It looks like it could second for a Jewish shofar. Blow into it and see if it you can get a sound. Maybe it is an ancient relic.

I had a couple of large Castello's. Sold them. Just not practical for smoking.
