Used Pipe, Run-in, Castello Old Antiquari G Kino

An important piece for true connoisseurs: Old Antiquari Grade G.

This Castello Old Antiquari is an Estate (Used/Broken-in) pipe in excellent condition, marked with the prestigious Grade G (Extra Large) and the wording "Kino" , a guarantee of the supervision of Franco "Kino" Coppo, the modern soul of the Castello brand.

The shape is a splendid Chimney (or Stack) Sitter : the bowl develops in height while maintaining a small internal diameter, a geometry particularly appreciated by smokers of Flake and Virginia tobaccos , as it promotes a slow and layered combustion that enhances the evolution of the aromas. The flat bottom allows the pipe to be placed anywhere without the need for supports.

The Old Antiquari finish features masterful sandblasting that has revealed a dense ring grain (growth rings). The coloration is striking: a two-tone gradient effect with a dark upper edge fading to warmer, more natural tones at the base.

Condition: The pipe is run-in . The rim shows normal signs of careful use ("darkening"), which on a sandblasted finish add character without compromising its beauty. The mouthpiece is in excellent condition with the "White Bar" logo intact.

Main Features:

• Chimney Sitter Shape: Tall bowl for long, complex smoke sessions, ideal for flakes. The flat base offers maximum convenience.

• Grade G (Giant): Generously sized, it fills your hand and offers a cool smoke thanks to the thickness of the walls.

• Kino Era: Produced under the direction of Franco Coppo, synonymous with perfect engineering and selected briar.

• Finish: Old Antiquari two-tone sandblasted (dark on top, light on bottom), very textured to the touch.

Why choose it: A chance to acquire a Castello "G" at a price that's affordable compared to new. Perfect for those seeking a tireless "desk" pipe, capable of handling the most complex blends thanks to the vertical bowl geometry.
