Wow, banjo, that is sensational! I have two 55s, one a 3K smooth finish -- it was my first Castello and my second briar pipe; the second is a shape 55 Perla Nerla -- it means business!
Well the Castello arrived and I expected it to be a Castello Fiamatta 55 with crushed rock adornment but it's a Castello Collection Fiamatta K grade with stone adornment 55, a higher grade than I expected, what a treat!
