Which One?

[shikano53]

First is an estate Castello Natural Virgen post 1007 very lightly smoked

Second is an unsmoked Castello Sea Rock post 2007

Castello Sea Rock, definitely.

 

[captainprophesy]

Oh man... I say the Sea Rock as well.

 

[bonehed]

I'll take the Sea Rock - thanks, you shouldn't have!

 

[peckinpahhombre]

They are both Sea Rocks, it's just the first is a virgin with no stain. Personally, I would take the Virgin as I have a few and just love the way they colour over time with use.

Sea Rock

 

[aldecaker]

OK, fine. The Sea Rock that wasn't fished out of some dead guy's gob and sold as an estate!

 

[fmgee]

Is the bottom one a lot smaller than the top one? Check the measurements. Something tells me you cannot go wrong with either one.

 

[dochudson]

I would be happy with either if I had pick I would go with the natural.

 

[philobeddoe]

Pick the one that you like better.

 

[shikano53]

Thanks guys. The pipes are identical measurement wise and are both Sea Rocks as Peck mentioned.

Vergin is very slightly smoked the un-smoked Sea Rock is new. Both are a steal of a price and no I'm not buying both.

 

[Chasing Embers]

Have to say natural here too.

 

[derfatdutchman]

I'd go with the unstained one also.

 

[pruss]

I'd go with the Virgin as well, for the reasons Peck stated. You can't go wrong with these choices, pick the one you like the best.

Buying from Mike is like buying new. I'm a white bar guy, so the Virgin appeals to me. Can't go wrong with either one.

 

[jkrug]

I guess I'm the odd man out here...I'd go with the dark one in a heartbeat! ::

 

[fishnbanjo]

If you want one for the American market go with the dark one if you want one for the European market get the Vergin, I personally like how a Vergin colors over time dark pipes you can always find but not Vergin finishes. Can't go wrong however you go though.

I love the look of naturals. Either way you can't go wrong.

 

[shikano53]

Thanks guys.

I went with a slightly different one from Mike at Pruss' excellent suggestion.
