Zitat:
"The beautifully layered ring grain banding the bowl of this Costello Old Antiquari should come as no surprise; only straight-grained briar is used to make pipes int his finish, after all. Nonetheless, the loveliness is so evident that I'd be remiss not to point it out. (And how's that for a paradox?) The shape itself is very stout, bordering on a pot, with a stem which tapers very neatly from a thick, but smooth transition to the flattened bit. The crowning touch, the plateau which constitutes the rim, blends perfectly into the composition as a whole.

Old Antiquari Bent Billiard (KKKK)

Zitat:
\"A good sandblast, especially deep toward the lower end of the bowl, covers this supple bent billiard from rim to shank, excepting of course the smooth-polished rim and a strip for the stamping along the underside. The shape is very natural in hand, bringing the bit to one\'s lip readily, and the chamber is rather capacious for a briar so light and slender in appearance.

- Eric N. Squires\"

Old Antiquari Poker (KKKK)

Zitat:
"A dynamic, tremulous, yet very well-aligned ring grain makes its way up and down the bowl of this Old Antiquari poker. The rather strong shaping of the stem, and bold, smart bowl make for a clearly masculine composition, accented by the deep red stain and healthy sandblast.

- Eric N. Squires"
