La Coppia 2 Pipe Set (with Leather Box) (2023) Tobacco Pipe

Castello's La Coppia is a special, limited-edition release comprising two of the Italian marque's most recognizable shapes: the "84" Hawkbill and the "15" Billiard. "La Coppia" means "the couple" in Italian, and while the release's two shapes are superficially distinct, they paradoxically match, being inverse reflections of one another — the Billiard, straight of line and austere; the Hawkbill, bent and fluid; both, muscular and compact. Appropriately, the two pipes are presented in a gorgeous leather display that's lined with felt to protect each shape's respective finish — in this instance, the Billiard's smooth, auburn stain and the Hawkbill's rugged, jet-black rustication.
