A few years ago I went to Paris and treated myself to this Castello "Castello" pipe. The finish is blonde. I liked it because it was different from the other models on display. I like diversity and pipes that I fall in love with at first sight.
It has darkened somewhat, as you can see in the photos below.
If you look at the markings, inside the bowl there's a two-digit code. This one is marked with the number "69," and this code refers to its year of manufacture. The Castello "Castello" series began in 1987 to celebrate the fortieth anniversary of the brand, which was founded by Carlo Scotti and later taken over by his son-in-law, Kino. If my calculations are correct, this pipe was made in 2016.
