Item History & Price

This is a Lovely Refurbished Castelardo Sardinian Star Briar Oom Paul Sitter with Cumberland Stem Made in Sardinia. Tommaso Spanu began Castelardo Pipes in Sardinia in 1979. an artisan carver originally apprenticed to Alberto Paronelli, the pipes named after a Sardinian Town. As well as using Sardinian... Briar Spanu also carved in different Fruit woods and Oak, and was joined in the business by his brother and 2 sons. Uniquely he worked using only Hand Tools. Spanu died in 2015. The briar of this Oom Paul Full Bent Sitter is a Dark Honey Colour with well defined Straight and Birdseye graining, the bowl rim crisp and un-marked. The stem is a Lovely Cumberland with the Anchor Logo, a non-filter saddle. The bowl was reamed and cleansed, the stem was fully sanitised to make the pipe ready to smoke as soon as you receive it, before the whole pipe was lightly polished and waxed to give the Beautiful Finish you can see in the photos. The pipe draws and will smoke perfectly, it fits so well in the hand, balanced both in hand and as a Sitter.
Thanks for looking and as usual I will combine postage if you buy more than one of my items from this auction. European tracked postage is £9.85 and for the rest of the world is £11.85......I have had to increase charges following Royal Mail price increases in April but will still combine any number of pipes for the price of one.
