A Very Special Box-Opening and First Smoke of a Brand New Castello Pipe!

[@randypejovic3581]

I can feel the excitement you have about unboxing and lighting up a bowl out of this pipe. Makes me want one now. :)

[@stuffandthingsyoutube]

+SmokeRingsPipeDreams - You're partially right. It's a bit confusing, but the k's DO refer to grade (specifically the fineness of the grain) on Castello's smooth pipes. On their rusticated pipes (Natural Vergin, Sea Rock, Old Antiquari) they refer to size. So, a single k rusticated pipe will be on the smaller end of the spectrum and a kkkk pipe on the larger end. After kkkk, they go up to G and GG, which are huge. Thanks for watching!

[@roqsteady5290]

Its more than confusing. From examining many Castello pipes, I reckon that K system does specify the size on smooth pipes too, at least for Castellos stamped "Trademark" (generally the least expensive smooth pipes), Castello "castello", "collection", which are the three main Castello grades in ascending order of price. What they are doing on some of their more specialised stampings is anyone's guess :). Also even on searocks the K system is not always directly the bowl size of the pipe - what I reckon is that they use the grading system to put the pipe into a particular price bracket. For instance, recently I have ordered a very long Canadian shape searock that is stamped GGG, but it doesn't have a really huge bowl... My guess is that the GGG stamping puts the pipe into the highest price category for searocks, because briar blocks from which you can make a very long Canadian are extremely uncommon. So maybe the grading system is just Castellos way of putting pipes into price categories and only incidentally relates to size - large pipes are generally more expensive than small ones, because large briar blocks (ebauchons) are pricier than smaller ones... Phew!!

[@TheIlianoth]

Great pipe! I'm a new italian pipe smoker and I really appreciate your channel, the best on youtube for pipe smokers. Carry on like this!

[@stuffandthingsyoutube]

Thank you! Glad to have you as a viewer.

[@officer44]

A very late comment on this beautiful moment when you treat yourself with a new pipe. May it serve you for a long long time. I don't have a lot of pipes jet, but Castello's sea rock briar pipes will find the way in to my collection. Enjoy.

[@stuffandthingsyoutube]

Thank you! It's still one of my absolute favorites.

[@gastondeveaux3783]

I love it when a beautiful product has an appropriately beautiful package. The box is beautiful. The pipe is gorgeous of course.

[@rdapooch]

Really enjoying catching up on your channel, Sir. I'm only a new guy on the pipe scene after 20 years of smoking and collecting cigars. Your videos have taught me a lot - and I love your style and passion! Thank you from Australia.

[@stuffandthingsyoutube]

Good to have you!

[@TXRBL]

Love the pipe. Love the Vox! Old Dischord Records band member who always says no more pipes and always buy more. Use to do the same for guitars and tube amps. Pipes won. So less expensive than a Rick 370!

[@stuffandthingsyoutube]

Ricks keep going up and up in price!

[@tastymouse]

Hey! Just saw this video in the cue. Been watching your channel for a couple years, but haven't seen this one until now. I own 2 Castellos, one being a kkkk sea rock pot model 33. I bought it new in the mid 70"s. Alas, being young and foolish, I only smoked aromatics. Well, I'm long over that! It was my pleasure to see your pleasure while unveiling your Castello. They are wonderful pipes, aren't they? I know you will enjoy it for years to come. Take care.

[@gastondeveaux3783]

Retail therapy ? It's pretty cool to see the real excitement on your face, like a kid at Christmas. Congratulations. I'm excited for you.

[@stuffandthingsyoutube]

Thanks for watching!

[@TheAmbulatoryAnarchist]

*Cue the choir singing "Gloria"*... Impeccable self-control, sir!

[@stuffandthingsyoutube]

Ha. It wasn't easy!

[@dougowen9756]

Hey Bradley, I'm just down the road from you in Poulsbo. Anyway, beautiful pipe. You know, I remember back in the 1970's when I was working at The Tinderbox store in Portland we had a slew of Caminettos because the availability of Castellos was extremely limited. I believe Scotti was turning out only a few thousand a year which in the pipe business was next to nothing due to the fact that the 1970's was the last sort of Renaissance decade for pipe smoking before the present craze. Everyone had read the Surgeon general's report which concluded that, oddly enough, people who smoked pipes in moderation lived 2-3 years longer than non smokers. Anyway that is a beauty you have there, one of the classic Scotti shapes that was conceived of by the master himself. I'm sure you know this but if not, the Ascorti pipes you see on the market now, which are actually very fine pipes are direct descendants of the Castello/Caminetto/Radice lines of pipes as a result of the departure of Radice and Ascorti from the Castello firm. When Ascorti quit Castello in the 1960's and took Radice with him to form the Caminetto brand, Carlo Scotti, who apparently was always the ultimate Italian gentleman was reported to have "spoken unreservedly" about the departure which is probably a polite way of telling the two mutineers to stick it you know where. When I was at the Tinderbox and the sales rep for HOLLCO/ROHR would call on us we would always pump him for Castellos. In those days the sales people would carry car stock with them but they always had very few Castellos in their bag and the few they had were usually reserved for Arthur Leonards pipe shop in downtown Portland, a legendary location where more high grade pipes were sold than any other store in the PNW. But I do go on too long, one more thing, I am somewhat a Dunhill fanatic so if you pursue one look to the pieces from the 1960's. At that time they were still oil curing the wood and the LB shape (meaning Large Billiard) is the classic. Enjoy that beauty of a Castello. Doug Owen.

[@stuffandthingsyoutube]

Cool bit of history! I have researched a bit about Castello and Caminetto and some of the other North Italian brands. Great pipes. I happen to have an LB Dunhill from 1966.

[@user-bx6dy2jq6i]

Great video! I recently purchased an antiquari shape 55 Castello kkkk with really nice deep wavy grooves and colours: tan darkening to reddish brown to black and a kind of melted looking rim - looks like it came out of a frickin volcano! Not yet smoked it. As you demonstrate so well with the sea rock model, these rusticated pipes are an excellent shape and feel just great.

[@george_1702]

congratulations to your new pipe. it's not my cut of tea but you look excited and that's great. enjoy it.

[@amymc312]

It's a work of art. I didn't appreciate the rusticated pipes at first but I am learning to like them. The color is amazing!

[@stuffandthingsyoutube]

+Amy Mc - The Castello Sea Rock finish is definitely pretty.

[@wadew9444]

That's great. I had a smile through the entire video sharing in your happiness. Nice pipe. I've always wanted a sea rock Castello, but as you know, must have discipline and curb buying pipes sometimes. I just got a Ser Jacopo that I had my eye on for a while and had the same feeling in the box opening, and smoke it everyday, feeling somewhat guilty for not showing any attention to my other pipes. Enjoy.

[@stuffandthingsyoutube]

Nice! Ser Jacopo is another Italian pipe maker I've had my eye on.

[@abushafi55]

Thanks brad , I fell in love with castello after this video espoused the shape 55. I have 3 shape 55 and i am obsessed with it. Natural virgin kkkk with white stem. Le dune fume kk size. Shape 55 kkkk searock pigreco Awesome pieces

[@rob7339]

Hi, Will! First of all, thank you for all your videos and your very useful reviews. I'm from Italy but even if Castello was French, English, Spanish, German or anywhere, they really are the best pipes. I'm a 'classicist' and Castello produces some, let's say, 'strange' shapes, but n.1 in terms of quality. I can suggest other absolutely great italian brands: Cavicchi and Radice on top, then Ser Jacopo, Caminetto and Mastro de Paja. Sweet smokes!

[@stuffandthingsyoutube]

Roberto Romano - Thanks for the comment! Yes, sometimes the Castello shapes and some of the other north Italy pipe makers can get a little too whimsical for my tastes, but then some of their takes on classic English shapes are just great. I LOVE Castello's billiard with the perfect taper from shank to bit.

[@nine9090.]

Very nice pipe sir. And very good show of willpower!!

[@stuffandthingsyoutube]

Ha! It nearly broke me, but I resisted temptation.

[@SCQT]

Such a beauty Really love that shape and finish

[@tom46970]

Congratulations sir! That is one beautiful pipe

[@stuffandthingsyoutube]

Thanks! As you could probably tell from the video, I'm pretty pleased with it.

[@theodosios2615]

Wow, what a stunning pipe!. Love the big draw on Castellos. Another great Italian pipemaker worth checking out is Claudio Cavicchi, fantastic pipes.

[@stuffandthingsyoutube]

It's quite effortless to smoke. Still love it quite a bit. Thanks for watching!

[@Ckw200]

I have 2 Cavicchi's. killer pipes and insanely well made. I imagine if you own either a Cavicchi or Castello, you aren't really missing out on having a Dunhill or not.

[@stuffandthingsyoutube]

I think you're probably right! I can't imagine anything smoking better than my Castello.

[@Ckw200]

Stuff&Things btw, have you reviewed GL Pease's Six Pence yet? I'd be interested in your thoughts/review vid

[@stuffandthingsyoutube]

I haven't, but it's on my list!

[@boiadedios]

the first castello i ve boght was with my first salary after universty...now i have 7 in my collection...good memories....for me the best pipes availables

[@stuffandthingsyoutube]

+boiadedios - They are lovely pipes. I like the fact that they are still mostly handmade.

[@BryceGodwinRVApiper]

Very cool video! Well done with all the explanations and dialogue. Thank you for sharing.

[@stuffandthingsyoutube]

Bryce Godwin - My pleasure! Thanks for watching.

[@joeybadabing4218]

Cool video. I enjoyed your excitement. There's nothing like smoking a pipe and I share your passion sir. love your vids and reviews, keep em coming! Cheers!

[@stuffandthingsyoutube]

I appreciate it! Glad to have you aboard.

[@SmokeRingsPipeDreams]

I think the four K's are more of a grading system than a size. Which means the pipe you bought was rated quite high in quality. (I'm not sure if the go to five K's or of they do it's very rare) I got a new Castello bulldog a few years ago from Europe as well and it too arrived very quickly and it also had that unique Castello flavor initially. Nice Pipe Sir!

[@gusevening4910]

Awesome pipe! I was thinking of an Ardor for my next purchase, but will be checking out Castello now. Great videos.

[@stuffandthingsyoutube]

I don't think you could go wrong either way!

[@user-Pied_Piper]

Greetings sir! Your channel was among my "recommended viewing" choices delivered by KZbin, so, this is my first exposure to you and your video reviews. I am so highly impressed with your articulation and thoughtful choices of wording that I immediately subscribed, so that I might catch up with your past postings and enjoy all future musings. Your self-described rambling was not at all off-putting, rather, I was quite drawn in by your passion and excitement at the prospect of finally receiving a longed-for treasure. I share your joy. That is one beautiful pipe! I agree with you... it fits you perfectly! Among my Italian pipes (which are few in number) I have a brand new, unsmoked, Armellini Churchwarden. While not exactly top-of-the-line, it is rather easy on the eye, too. I look forward to your previous contributions. Thank you for posting.

[@stuffandthingsyoutube]

I'm glad you found the channel, and I appreciate you taking the time to leave such a thoughtful comment! When I first started smoking pipes, I was a bit turned off by the rustic nature and unique proportions of many of the Northern Italian pipe-makers, but I've definitely learned to love them now. My Castello is still one of my favorites, and I'd like to add several more Italian pipes to my rack eventually.

[@EctopicElm00707]

The look of utter pleasure on your face when it finally came out of the sock was a joy to behold!

[@stuffandthingsyoutube]

Ha! I was pretty pleased.

[@kkurilj]

Congratulations! Beautiful pipe!

[@stuffandthingsyoutube]

I think I'll have to get another!

[@kkurilj]

Stuff&Things :-)

[@billnewman8261]

You look like you are enjoying it.

[@cybersecurity7466]

You and I have the same Castello. Although, it being Castello, they are very different. My natural vergin shape 55 has line grain at the top instead of birdseye. And mine has a saddle bit instead of a taper

[@williamhoward1093]

Just get on with it man Castello's are awesome >

[@dermont5]

Fantastic! Congratulations!

[@stuffandthingsyoutube]

Thanks! I'm still really enjoying it.

[@dermont5]

Stuff&Things I know you are. Excellent taste!

[@protopiper5567]

Very nice choice! I have always been found of Castello Pipes.

[@stuffandthingsyoutube]

It's become one of my favorites. Smokes really well!

[@jynxhaste]

Man that pipe is gorgeous!

[@stuffandthingsyoutube]

Thanks! I know I'm babbling through most of the video, but I was pretty excited!

[@jynxhaste]

Oh the babbling was great. It made me feel as though I was there while you opened it.

[@stuffandthingsyoutube]

I always like watching people who are genuinely excited about whatever they happen to be discussing, so I guess I won't be TOO embarrassed about it!

[@adriansmith3116]

Great pipe and love yours vids all the best from the uk.

[@BlankChaz]

Mille grazie!

[@stuffandthingsyoutube]

+Charles Bernth - My pleasure! Thanks for watching.

[@davidthomasmartin1075]

Hi Brad, don't know if you'll read this since your vid is 6 years old. Anyhow, just letting you know, I finally bought the pipe. It is a very rare pipe now and very expensive. Took me a while to decide to spend over 300 bucks on a pipe but I did. Yesterday. Love your channel. David.

[@stuffandthingsyoutube]

That's great! I'm sure you'll love it!

[@Siggyy88]

That Italian impersonation was amazing

[@podpunk]

beautiful castello!

[@beetlefang]

Congrats on your Castello...ok I know 7 years too late. But I subscribed to your channel last week and am still discovering your relevant but old videos. My second Castello is on it's way from smoking pipes...I'd suggest that you sell your old/used pipes on your channel. I imagine a follower would buy them quickly.OK back to some more vintage stuff and things videos.

[@stuffandthingsyoutube]

Great to have you watching! Enjoy that second Castello!

[@RelaxedpiperYoutube]

Amazing pipe, I think my last pipe will be a Castello smooth or rusticated I have not decided yet. Cheers!

[@filinand]

Great channel. Greetings from Ukraine

[@stuffandthingsyoutube]

Thanks! Nice to have you as a viewer.

[@davidthompson1622]

Wonderful review Bradley, a couple of weeks ago I ordered my first Castello (a sea rock Billiard) , but after watching this review a few days ago, the 55 shape has been driving me crazy, so last night I caved in and ordered a sea rock 55 from Italy. , it’s your fault 😀 💫✨⭐️

[@stuffandthingsyoutube]

Good choice!

[@hokuspokus5153]

Great vix amp. Respect

[@BurghBelly]

Beautiful pipe. I've been thinking about a Sea Rock, you tipped the scales, I think. BTW, great reviews. I like the wide bits on the Italian pipes I have so I'm glad they're styled that way.

[@stuffandthingsyoutube]

I don't think you'll be disappointed. I'm already thinking of getting another Castello.

[@adestradoronline]

Very nice! Gratz.

[@AM2PMReviews]

Another great vid. Your subscribers are booming too!

[@stuffandthingsyoutube]

Thanks, man! I appreciate it.

[@Hugoazul77]

I have seen this video about 10 times and my friend is good to see how much you like it and I also like it a lot. Today I lost outbid on ebay one castello gg 55, well since I saw you video I can't stop thinking and planning how I will get one??? Well it may not be the same but I got a Radice same shape just may be shorter.

[@stuffandthingsyoutube]

I'm sure you'll find yours someday!

[@billnewman8261]

That is really nice.

[@onereddfoxxx]

Good stuff, I share your excitement,... How could you wait for so long to open it? I'm supposed to receive ser Jacopo tomorrow.....

[@stuffandthingsyoutube]

+onereddfoxxx - Nice! I've never owned a Ser Jacopo, but everything I've heard says they're great pipes.

[@ruim2495]

"Artigianato della pipa" means "the pipe craftsmanship" in english I think,my english is bad so......And that smile on your face is like a little boy just found his favourite toy,hahahaha.....Congrats man.

[@stuffandthingsyoutube]

Thanks for the translation!

[@dayatdylon7011]

Lovely pipe! Might I ask where you got your castello from, if you don't mind sharing? Looking to pickup a radice but can't seem to find them for a decent price. Thanks!

[@stuffandthingsyoutube]

Dayat Dylon - It was an Italian site called floppypipe. You can get a good deal by buying direct from Italy IF the Dollar is strong against the Euro when you happen to be buying. Otherwise, shipping can make it a wash.

[@dayatdylon7011]

Nice, thank you! Will check it out.

[@brianquilty687]

That pipe looks good on you !!! Did you ever find the Dunhill you were looking for ?? I have an older Dunhill I might be persuaded to trade.

[@frankiegee6135]

You know you're getting a quality pipe when even the pipe sock alone is of such high grade!

[@stuffandthingsyoutube]

I have been looking for the exact shape that comes unstained or as they call it “virgin”

Thank you! It's quickly become one of my favorites.

[@pokerpotpipe2117]

[@tastytobacco9692]

Haven’t seen this in any of your recent videos, do you still use and enjoy your Castello? 😁

[@haroldpearson8519]

Wheres the website you bought that pipe from Italy? The new Castello 55 in your video.

[@stuffandthingsyoutube]

It's called floppy pipe. Weird name I know.

[@onereddfoxxx]

Me neither;)))) I will tell you when I try it.

[@paulkukiel3725]

New to the channel, but I thought I’d post here as this episode was the inspiration to take advantage of the Black Friday sale on floppypipe.it!! Grabbed a beautiful Castello (55 KK) and Dunhill (Shell Briar 3122 Poker). Have been looking around and waiting to strike for some time. Very serendipitous to find this!! Thanks for this wonderful channel!!

[@kds471]

Do you still have your 55? Looking at picking one up myself.

[@stuffandthingsyoutube]

Yep. you can see it in quite a few videos. Great pipe.

[@dinomyte7253]

Hi Brad! Great review (as are all of your reviews). Recently bought a Castello Natural Vergin #31 KKK pipe and currently looking for a Castello Army Mount. Love the Castellos - I also own Savinellis but they just don't compare. Quick questions - do you have some basic advice on tobacco types and pipes? Would you recommend a different pipe per tobacco type (to avoid ghosting issues)? Are there general guidelines for tobacco types and pipe sizes? Maybe these aren't quick questions ... :-) Thanks Brad and keep up the great work! Dino

[@stuffandthingsyoutube]

dinomyte72 - Congrats on your Castellos! The only guideline I follow is to never smoke aromatics and non-aromatics in the same pipe. It's easy for me because I never really smoke aromatics. As far as English, Straight Virginia, Balkan, VA/Per, etc... I'll smoke any of those unflavored blends in any pipe.

[@peterrussell5143]

Hello Bradley - great review! I'm a new pipe smoker, moving away from cigars. I noticed your lighter in this segment. Could you share with me the brand/model that you use? Thank you!

[@jackbloom4744]

Beautiful shape !! I bought one in morta !! Great smoke! Thank you for the beautiful videos. A question :when you introduce yourself it’s clear the name (Bradley) but not the surname.

[@ryanmcfadin09]

I'm thinking of getting a castello. How has it held up over the last few years? You think it was worth it? What website did you use haha

[@stuffandthingsyoutube]

Still going strong! It was an Italian site called "floppypipe."

[@angusgreeneyeslefay9485]

Congratulations dear brother ,as of now you cant speak of pipe/tobacco snobs in third or second person .Dunno maybe is inevitable .Im only a week or two old piper but already eight different tobacco mixtures and two pipes

[@LogicallyKnot]

Lol! Wish someone would have told me about the pipe addiction, BEFORE I decided to start smoking pipes! It's a damn sickness. I've only been smoking about 2 months and I've probably spent a good $1400.00 on pipes. (That's not including the tobacco) I just purchased a Peterson Irish Harp 999 for IPSD, yesterday. A few days before that, I purchased a Savinelli Chubby Cutty, not knowing IPSD was coming up, once I found out it was IPSD, it gave me an excuse to purchase yet another pipe. LMAO! I already have 8 really nice pipes, the best one being a Peterson B11 silver cap, also purchased a Peterson Royal Irish Rosslare 408. I was thinking about getting an amber stem Peterson and taking a break from pipe buying, but maybe I go after a Castello, or Dunhill? I've also looked at Ascorti. Maybe I'll buy all 4!!! lol. Apparently, I have a serious problem. What do you think I should buy before my hiatus? Amber stem, Castello, Dunhill, or Ascorti? My other hobby is even more expensive....firearms...LOL I've got several rifles that I have 1500-4k in (I always buy premium shit, I see no point in buying junk) I can blow 100-250 bucks in ammo (depending on how many family members/friends I take shooting) in one afternoon, at my range behind the house... I really didn't need another expensive hobby....

I ordered my Castello S55 KKKK smooth finish from Floppy Pipes after watching your box opening. I had a sea rock finish once but went for a smoothie this time; couldn't resist the lovely grain. The shipping was freaky fast and the price from Floppy was less than similar Castellos on US sites. I haven't smoked it yet; wanted to get a pic before the first charring light. Even before smoking, it's my favorite pipe. www.johnbrinkphotography.biz/Pipes/i-cjwbwqJ/A

[@stuffandthingsyoutube]

+John Brink - That's a gorgeous pipe! I need to get my hands on a smooth Castello eventually as well.
