 An Al Pascia Curvy reverse calabash

Very interesting that you're going for the Yachtman. It's not often you get them. But such a beautiful shape!

Here are three recent additions to the Castello collection. The kkkk Collection shape 15 GG is from an online dealer and I picked up this fumed top Old Antiquari NS 215 with a flared green stem on eBay. And the third is a kkkkk Trademark shape 30 at the 2017 GKCPC Pipe Show.

The 15's shape is different from most of the other big square 15's in the collection but I grown to love it.

I really value and will pay a premium for colored stems especially the green ones and I really over paid for this piece but I was very surprised when I got it that it was smaller than the other NS215's I have from this carver.  What I thought was a regular green pearl swirl stem was very different, it doesn't really show in the (crappy) photo but it's a lighter green with what looks like red swirled in. I thought I have seen it all but this stem is very unique to the colection!

 The red Trademark is a very good example of my favorite pipe shape. The only thing this piece needed to be perfect (IMO of course) is a sharper crease on the oval shank.

Some of my favorites...I generally only smoke 6 or 7 though...The best tasting and the most comfortable ones.

Here's a Strambach calabash that I got in the 70's....I should smoke it more and have smoked a lot in the past....Still in pristine shape.

A Strambach gourd calabash has been on my wish list for a long time. Just too damn expensive!

I picked up three pipes and won one pipes at the WCPS in Vegas earlier this month but it's a broken walking stick that a guy has been promising to bring me for a few years now that was the highlight of my weekend. My buddy Rex is a talented wood worker took it home to fix and refurbish the handle.

In my seven years of buying raffle tickets I've never won anything till this Perry White (Bob Swanson), Collin Rigsby, Robby Cippolina collaboration donated by Pipestud (Steve Fallon). It's a great looking Gr6 size dublin with a good looking blast and very thin, comfortable stem!

Finally organized the pics of some of my own Hausgemacht pipes for your perusal.

And finally, my tractor pipe, so called because that'skk where I smoke it mostly. It's a good smoker, but looks like hell because of of huge flaw I had to fill
