Nice linesMy first Castello a #66 G in Natural Vergin. I have a number of Italian pipes in my collection and i liked the natural finish and shape so here we go! Smokes wonderfully, I'm quite enjoying it.

I like that the top is smooth and (pretty much) in line with the stem/shank, as opposed to canted forward perpendicular with the bowl axis

I’ll have to direct my pipe money to tobacco now with the STG nonsense. Too many blends I enjoy on the chopping block
Thanks Paul. Castello caught my eye when I first starting smoking a decade ago. Was never much for Britwoods or Danish pipes. I started with cobs and American drugstore brands and smoked them for years. Now I enjoy Petes and Italian makes the most for briar. This thread pushed me over the edge on CastelloYou really got some gorgeous 11’s
Do you have pics of your other 11s? That's my fav shape - got an old antiquari, sea rock, and le dune so far. hoping for a nice aristocratica sometime.Thanks Paul.

amazing. is that first one the virgin finish or is that the old antiquary brown? that's an amazing blast.
hard to say, Maxim listed it as natural but it's not stamped Natural Vergin. It is darkening quicklyamazing. is that first one the virgin finish or is that the old antiquary brown? that's an amazing blast.
and thanks for the compliment on my pipe
It's looking great. I've seen some virgin type finishes that end up being kinda dirty but yours is coming in very nicelyhard to say, Maxim listed it as natural but it's not stamped Natural Vergin. It is darkening quickly
Castello 'Old Antiquari' Shape # 11 (KKKK) # 508
This deep sandblast natural rare shape # 11 Brandy Brucianaso Castello. It shows its roots through the bowl with its definitive full bent origins. Ever so slight truncation of the bowl and its shorted shank evolve it to be a neo-classic "shape # 11". Only Castello could have so wonderfully...pipes2smoke.com
there's some discussion on vergin pipes a few pages back, seems most are sea rock but who knows
