Hello everybody,
after more than 2 years of pipe smoking, having spent countless hours on the internet and having bought no less than 25 pipes ( some cheap and some not so cheap ), I finally crossed the line and bought a brand new Castello. The famous and highly collectible shape 55. I just wanted to finally know, what is it like to have a top quality pipe. And not just any, but a Castello in particular.
And now I know. It is so nice, that I do not want to smoke any of my other pipes anymore. I only smoke 965 in it, and all I will ever smoke in it is English. It just tastes so good, it must be the quality of the wood itself. And most importantly, it did so from the very first smoke. I mean, it was like the minute I lit it, I knew this was what I had been missing. Only sad thing is with all the money I have spent until now I could have had like 4 maybe 5 Castellos but, hey, better late than never right?
So, although they did not give me a free pipe, and I get no benefits from advertising I have to say:
Those of you who really enjoy pipe smoking, if you have not tried Castello, do yourselves a favor and get one. Yes, it does cost 4 times as much as something you would normally buy, but in the end you will end up with one pipe you will love all your life instead of four pipes you will be looking to sell in the future.
This is just the way I feel about the whole Castello thing, and I just wanted to share my thoughts wth everybody. I mean no offence to all you fellas buyng the cheap stuff, I have been doing it myself, until now.
