Castello pipe Smooth lead-coloured Castello pipe with black methacrylate mouthpiece, classic straight model 33. Rating 4 K. Castello pipes represent the finest Italian craftsmanship, appreciated worldwide for their attention to detail and unparalleled taste. The pipe is medium/large in size and stands out for its generous bowl and excellent smokability in all situations; it is Castello's classic straight model 33, one of the most popular among smokers. The model is also called 'pipotto' due to its short length and compactness. It was invented by Franco Coppo, who realised that by slightly reducing the stem of a Canadian pipe, it would be easier to handle and more practical. It is the ideal pipe to carry around with you to enjoy long smokes in complete comfort. The dark, deep colour highlights a beautiful flame pattern, even if it is not regular on the bowl, but the wood grain is still very pleasing. It is also very practical as it can be placed down without falling over. The Castello series represents pipes with no defects in the briar and a slight, irregular grain. The series is positioned above the Trade Mark but below the Collection, which in turn is a pipe with a present and regular flame. The quality is the same as all other Castello pipes. It is available in hazelnut, brown, black, red and natural colours. The ideal pipe for those who want a Castello with a discreet grain but at a lower price than the Collection.
Castello is an expression of the finest Italian craftsmanship, appreciated worldwide for its attention to detail and unparalleled taste. Pipa Castello was founded in 1947 by Carlo Scotti in Cantù. He hired the best craftsmen to create pipes with harmonious shapes and perfect finishes, using impeccable construction techniques. The name Castello was chosen with foresight as it is similar and recognisable in many languages. Furthermore, Castello is synonymous with solidity, power and admiration. Over the years, Carlo Scotti was joined by his son-in-law Franco Coppo, who now runs the artisan workshop. Castello's strength is based on several factors. Firstly, the expert craftsmen who shape the briar with their decades of experience and skill. Secondly, the long-aged briar, which guarantees light and dry pipes. Finally, the rigour of Carlo Scotti first and Franco Coppo later in creating the best possible product that reflects excellent aesthetics without neglecting functionality.
