Thanks for the compliments! I absolutely love this castello! Smoked it today in fact.
It's a wonderful pipe that really has some character to it, and I feel it just fits me.
Ebay can be a challenge. I miss out on a lot of stuff I really like, usually due to price. Not that the price alot of what I watch sells for aren't good deals, but just more then I am willing to spend. Most the time I have atleast 5 pipes in my watch list and usually more like 12 or 13. I have a tough time finding stuff because I really like short stubby squat pipes. Can't get enough of them. Problem is there are very few of them it seems, or the ones I really like are way way WAY out of my price range! I got extremely lucky on the castello, I paid $136 delivered if I remember correctly, and it was a steal at that price!
Next up on the list I must have, is one of the Radice nosewarmers that neatpipes sells. I gotta have one, just waiting on an estate to pop up.

7 day set of Castello Chubby Billiards, buy it now, $5k.
Your evil!! :P I keep that set in my watch list just to ooo and ahh over pretty much every day!!
There is actually an unsmoked Radice chubby billiard like I mentioned above on ebay right now. I'm still trying to decide if I am going to go for it or not.. my birthday is tuesday so I'm feeling it!! Only problem is its not as short as I would like at 5" long rather then the 4 1/2" I would rather have. I will have to follow it and see where it gets to price wise. I could have my choice from neatpipes in the length and finish I want for about $200..

Here is a ebay pipe that showed up in the mail today. Never heard of this brand/maker but I liked the shape and it looked to be in great condition.
The only markings on it are: CORTINA FACTORY DENMARK

And this brand new Savinelli natural that I ebayed a few weeks ago.
