Castello Great Line Collection #5625-11770
This pipe was made under the auspices of Carlo Scotti…now, with the death of Franco Coppo (Kino) that is two owners ago. It remains to be seen if Carlo’s daughter (I think it is she that has taken over the operation of the factory in Cantu) can keep things going as the same high level. It can’t be easy. This pipe has a large bowl, at least a Grp. 7 size. Yes, my thumb can fit into the chamber. The nomenclature is slightly buffed down, but only slightly, with every letter quite visible and legible. The inner chamber rim, you can see, has just some carbon residue on it, but no wear. The stem is in excellent condition. There are no “Ks” on the pipe, but as of 2024, the least expensive Great Line Collection was $850.
5.7” long, bowl 2.85” tall. Weight: 2.75 oz., 79 grams.
