Can anybody out there tell me the difference between a Castello Sea Rock GGG and Castello Sea Rock Great Line? Is a Great Line larger than a GGG? Thanks!

I don't think it's just about size. There are probably GGG pipes that are as big or bigger than some great lines. If the pipes you're looking at are listed online, you might be able to compare the sizes. Great lines are generally, but now always large. They also tend to fall within a narrow range of shapes, e.g. mostly dublins and sometimes bulldogs. They often have plateau rims. Great lines are considered a higher grade by Castello. If they label one pipe a GGG and another pipe of comparable size a great line, they consider the GGG a lesser grade pipe. Whether there's really a difference, I don't know. They will certainly smoke the same.
Again... the number of G marks are not an indicator of size but a code to tell dearlers what the factory is charging them for the pipe. The more Gs, the more expensive.
