CASTELLO PIPES

For over 60 years, the Castello name has been synonymous with high-end, collectible pipes in a way no other brand (save Dunhill) can compete.  Formed by Carlo Scotti in 1947, Scotti (and later, his son-in-law Franco Coppo) grew Castello into one of the premier pipe companies in the world. As a pioneer in high grade pipes, Castello has continually raised the bar in quality and craftsmanship against which all other Italian pipes are judged.  Castello's innovations - including adoption of extensive grading and nomenclature, their use of well-aged air-cured wood, and being the first company to embrace Lucite for stems - is proof that they changed pipe making, and collecting, forever.  Their influence is vast, with names like Caminetto, Radice and many other Italian artisans tracing their roots back to Castello; in addition, their style has spawned numerous imitators around the world.  There is no denying it:  The pipe world would be a much different place without the passion and innovation that Castello created.
