" I run a craftsman's
shop, not a factory, my pipes are works of art, fruit of expert hands,
heart and fantasy". Carlo Scotti
Castello pipes were started by Carlo Scotti in 1947, in Cantu,
Italy. He not only redefined the Italian pipe but established the Castello
pipe as the mark of quality. Castello pipes pipes would take Carlo Scotti
from a tiny artisan studio and anonymity, to a state of the art production
facility and the peak of the Italian pipe world. Every Castello pipe is completely
hand made, from start to finish, from the finest available briar and
has a hand cut Lucite stem. Castello is the only make that uses briar
that has been aged for 10 years. The Castello pipe is considered by
many smokers to be the world's greatest and most consistent smoking
pipe.
