I'm Enjoying Seeing Some Great Looking Wood!
The Latest 2025 Castello acquisitions to my G, GG, GGG15 collection. The Old Antiquari with the silver band was a must have pipe that was made possible by @Sigmund. The seller wouldn't ship to my location but @Sigmund did me a big favor and took delivery and reshipped the pipe to me. Much Appreciated!
The magnificent GG15 Flame is from the first edition series. A perfect shape 15 with the rustic tool marks and plateau top make this a highlight of the collection! @npod surprised me when he called me out and presented me with the pipe at his once in a lifetime all access Photo Tour Presentation of the Castello Shop in Cantu. It was a very special day especially surrounded by many of my friends!

Stunning Dave and sometimes you need a bit of magic to secure those rare ones. Well done to you and @npod for making this happen

Thanks! The photo captured the blast better than it looks in real life but I love the lines, proportions and the silver band. It was a must have addition to the collection.

No, just facilitating the removal of some of your funds instead of mine

Thanks! Yes it was estate pipe I got from smokershaven.com. Condition was “near mint”, and I think that was a fair description.
