Castello Pipes

[Uguccione]

Anyone have good experience with nolipipe.it for Castellos ???

It is one of the most historic shops in Milan, You can buy with confidence.
They periodically make offers - especially on used, but not only - on their entire catalogue.
Buy with confidence

Have anyone heard anything of another now closed Italian artisan maker of Capitello Pipes and how those compare to say Castello or Radice brand pipes?

What little is known about it can be found on pipedia: Capitello - Pipedia - https://pipedia.org/wiki/Capitello
Even in Italian forums little is said about it. It seems that Enzo Galluzzo started working at Ascorti and then left early due to disagreements (I don't know if there was even a legal case between the two).
There are few Capitello pipes around because production lasted very little. Those who have them speak about them in very positive terms.
The style of the shapes reminds me a lot of Castello.
On the mouthpiece they have a golden oval or the design of a capital, also golden; or nothing because the symbol faded easily (lol).
Be careful that online you can find pipes with the name Capitello but they have nothing to do with the production of Enzo Galluzzo.

Had a Castello for a while. It was given to me by Bradley @tbradsim1 and it smoked great. I lost it in the divorce as it was in our overseas apartment and she isn't giving me anything from that house. When I get "rich" I'll get another one.

My sympathies. I knew a guy who got a divorce and his x took all his pipes and told him she did it because she knew he liked them.

Oof, that is terrible.

Some ex's can be very vindictive
I read some years ago in London, an ex left the contents of her husband's cellar on the neighbours' doorsteps and cut off the sleeves and legs of his wardrobe of Saville row suits.
Oof !
