Castello Collection KK Shape 223 Smooth Pipe

An absolute rarity in the world of slow smoking. Of all the variants produced by the famous Cantù-based manufacturer, the #223 shape is considered one of the rarest and most sought-after by collectors. Found almost exclusively in Castello production and in very small quantities, this pipe represents the excellence of Italian craftsmanship.

Historic and unmistakable design: First introduced in 1972, the Shape 223 is the refined evolution of the classic "boccetta." It retains the roomy spherical bowl and extremely slim shank, but introduces unique details: a beautiful wavy bowl edge and a "fancy" mouthpiece insert inserted directly into the briar body, without flock or intermediate rings.

Collection KK Grade: In addition to its rare shape, this pipe boasts the prestigious Collection KK grade, awarded exclusively to briars with exceptional flame and a flawless surface. The smooth finish highlights the wood's natural grain, promising to darken and acquire even greater charm with use over time.
