ASCORTI – BUSINESS Brandy Bowl
Castello “SEA-ROCK” Style Finish
Acrylic Bit, Inlaid A, Near Mint!

Offering a beautiful Ascorti BUSINESS pipe, in a finish which was made famous at Castello, called Sea Rock. Ascorti and Radice came from Castello, and then they started the Caminetto brand together. The style of their pipes resembled Castello in many respects, thus the finish is pretty much the same. Later, both men started their own independent brands, Ascorti and Radice. I really like the way Ascorti crafts his stems, made of wonderful quality black acrylic with a slim bit, and wonderful finish. This pipe came from a timeframe where the A stamp is inlaid in white, so it won’t polish off and looks really sharp to my eye. The stem also has a silver-colored band to give it an upscale look. The bowl is in great shape, I don’t find any noted wear, really gorgeous. The bowl interior is in excellent shape, established seasoning coat inside, draw hole bottom center. The stem is a rich gloss black acrylic, with one tiny surface tooth mark, really clean shape. It’s a non-filter normal tenon. Comes with the original Ascorti drawstring bag. Draws easy, the pipe weighs in at about 2.05 ounces, is ready to smoke.
