[QUOTE="Harlock999, post: 230591, member: 1363"] Good question. I've always wondered why Castello differentiates between pipes sold in the US vs. the rest of the world. To my knowledge, they are the only brand that does this. Puff Daddy's explanation for the reason behind the different stem logos sounds entirely reasonable, but it doesn't explain why they continued marking the pipes with the "US" stamp. The widening of the airway in the stems seems to occur sometime in the 1980's, and definitely makes a huge difference in the general smoking experience, even though some of my favorite pipes are earlier pieces with tight draws. And the white bar logo is not a guaranty that the pipe will have an open draw... [/QUOTE]
