With a Stack-like bowl and chamber and hearty proportions throughout, Castello's Oom Paul shape is a bold, muscular rendition. Such curves and deep bend make for a pipe that, while considerably large of bowl, remains quite compact in length and well-suited to comfortably clenching. It's made all the more alluring thanks to the vibrant, honey-blonde stain dressing this example, highlighting the briar's natural grain patterns in vivid display. Such a light color palette will darken naturally as this pipe is smoked, slowly graduating to deep auburn and rose hues.
