Castello PAD! The 3 Latest (Pic Heavy) 9-12-17

[tschiraldi]

I have picked up these three Castello pipes in the past two months. Each was supposed to be the last of the year! The first is a Trademark KKKK Oval Shank Bent Billiard (2017 production)from Pipe-24, The second is an Old Antiquari "Le Catene" (Chains) Bent Billiard #86 of 250 from SPC, the third is a Collection KK Panel Bent Billiard with Army Mount stem. Carlo Scotti era circa 1992. I don't have this one yet. It is on its way from Walker Briar Works. I haven't smoked the Le Catene yet, either. I'm waiting until I can devote time to really center my attention on it.

Sorry for the terrible photo of the Trademark. Its from the site. I haven't taken my own yet.

The Collection panel is just under 5" and weighs in at 38.27 grams (1.35oz)!

Nice pipes. Funny how Castello PAD bites and won't let go. Well, not so funny.

It's been a while since we've seen any Castello pad posts!
Wow, that Antiquari with the smooth top floats my boat.

Really nice pipes. I'm with Al that Antiquari is dynamite.

Too much hassle to get pictures up. Facebook is easy peasy and tablet and smart phone friendy Gentlemens Pie Smoking Society is a nice low key group, lots of pictures of pipes and the people smoking them, including banjo lately.
