Here is another gem: the
regular and deep blast with a lot of parallel waves obtained from an ebauchon
skilfully centred, the warm colour, the captivating shape, the smooth wavy
rim, the briar smooth inlay and the large size represent qualities you
ought to consider carefully.
Due to the bending, this pipe
is perfectly balanced and notwithstanding the generous dimensions, it’s
very well suited for long comfortable smokes.
Despite age, this pipe is in
gorgeous condition and represents a good opportunity for owning a prestigious
old Castello at a reasonable price.
Size is comparable to that of
a large Group 5 (Dunhill).
As usual, pipe has been accurately
cleaned, but contrary to my habit the carbon cake coming from the British
blends smoked, has not been totally removed, for leaving this pleasure
to the new owner accordingly to his personal taste. Naturally, I’m ready
to complete the adjustment upon your request.
Expert American collectors call
this pipe the “perfect smoking machine” and I fully agree.
