Castello Perla Nera Shape 44 Opera Pipe - Used Pipe by Carlo Scotti

Product Title

Used Castello Pipe 'Perla Nera' - Shape 44 (Opera/Pocket) - Carlo Scotti

Product Description

Evening elegance in a rare and sophisticated form.

This Castello Perla Nera , specifically the Shape 44 , is a designer jewel created for the gentleman. Known as the "theater" or "smoking" pipe, it embodies Carlo Scotti's philosophy: impeccable aesthetics and absolute functionality.

Unique Features:

• Shape 44 (Opera / Pocket): The distinctive feature of this model is its oval, flattened head . This shape is no accident: it is specifically designed to allow the pipe to fit comfortably in a jacket or vest pocket without creating bulk or ruining the silhouette of the suit.

• Round Combustion Chamber: Despite the oval exterior, Castello craftsmanship ensures a perfectly round bowl . This ensures even and optimal tobacco combustion, identical to that of a classic pipe, without compromising on the smoking mechanics.

• Black Pearl Finish: The glossy black finish is deep and elegant, designed for formal occasions. The sheen of the black briar contrasts beautifully with the white Castello logo (the white trim on the mouthpiece), creating a minimalist and chic look.

• Lightness and Compactness: As per tradition for the #44 model, this pipe is extremely light and very short, ideal for being held in the mouth without effort or handled with ease during a break at the theatre or a gala evening.

Historical Notes and Rarity: The Model 44 is a rarity in the Castello catalog. It is famous for being produced in extremely limited quantities (the numbered run of just 56 pieces in June 2005 is particularly notable). Finding a "broken-in" example of this shape is a real treat for anyone seeking a piece of Cantù pipe history.

Condition: Used and broken-in pipe (Estate Pipe). The briar has been sanitized and polished, ready for another classy smoke.
