Got this from TC just before Georged posted the gorgeous pictures of his Dunhill. I guess this is Castello's edition. I was wanting a second Castello. Saw this shape and style that I hadn't seen before from Castello so punched the button. Won't break it in till after all this Corona mess is over. Hope it's a keeper! Hoppes

I saw that one as well over the past two weeks. She's a real looker with that tapered stem!

Thanks. I had that in a cart since they posted it. I’ve hovered over the checkout button more than I care to admit. Glad you got it!

This is my lone Castello in my collection. At one point years ago I owned 7 at one time and all were great smokers as is my current one. This particular one is a Castello Collection Occhi di Pernice Dublin. The pics are not that great, as the birdseye on both sides is much nicer in person. It is a fine example of an Occhio because the birdseye on each side is nice and even and the cross cut on the front and back of the bowl is also pretty uniform. It is was one of my best scores ever on ebay price wise.

Is that a pit in the pipe or did you put that there by accident? For the price of a Castello I'd expect a briar to be devoid of that flaw.

I forgot about this thread! Newest in front, still haven’t smoked it yet. At 18 grams I expect it to be an effortless clencher. It’s impossibly light.

Absolutely stunning pieces. Are the two nearest to the viewer 2Ks?

Yes, thanks. 4K in the rear, 2K middle and front. The camera is responsible for making the back pipe look smaller than it is, relative to the others.

I love the one in the front. What do they call that one?

I’m not entirely sure. It’s a KK size, stamped on the bottom. And the Sea Rock finish. But that’s all you get. Here’s the listing.

I love that one too. Great looking pipe

Had this one a while, something about the wavy rim military mount 1/8 bend sea rock rustication... yeah this one is perfect in my eyes

My only Castellos...for now. Both are KK Sea Rocks.

Definitely seeing some high quality wood in this thread!!
Last weekend I moved most of my Castello collection from boxes on a bookcase into it's new home. It was fun going though and seeing whole collection for the first time in a few years. ?

Looks like you have room for a few more.
And don’t you have some Castellanas?
I assume the furniture came from Cantu.

No, I wish! It’s a Thomas Cristiano (RIP) I picked up from a friend who is downsizing.?

Wow! What a thrill to see this collection! Thanks a lot for sharing!

I picked up my first Castello pipe earlier this year: an estate "Castello" triple k billiard purchased in Spain. I assume it is from the mid 1980s as there is no castle and the Ks are encircled. Does anyone know what a M on the bottom would signify? I have looked all over the inter webs and cannot find an answer—including BriarBlues?

This just arrived today via DHL from Tobacceria Corti. Old Antiquari XXXX. The finish is lighter than I expected from the photos, almost like a Natural Vergin but I expect it will darken soon enough. First smoke now with ODF. Sublime!

I’d agree with your date assumption. The M looks like a European dealer mark but I don’t know which one. Good looking pipe. The Castello grade is a great one to find really good value. ?
