Congratulations on your new pipe. I love how the stem color blends well with the pipe bowl. I hope you enjoy it for many years.

I love all my Becker's but especially my Fritz pipes, even when having an email discussion with Paulo I mention his father and he always thanks me for that. Enjoy that beauty!

Fritzs pipe smoked great, but what I feel when I am smoking this pipe is the mans story, run out of Germany by Hitler as a young man, hooking up with OSS during World War II, spoked many languages , talented musican, I feel I am humbled to touch what this man made , kind of like smoking a piece of History.

Man, I love it. Beautiful pipe, Bradley. Nobody does rusticated pipes better than the Italians.

Old Cajun:
Beautiful pipe I especially like the stem and the rustication. I know the history of Fritz's escape from Germany's socialist democratic party under Hitler during WWII. It is a good thing that Fritz made it to freedon in Italy so that we can enjoy his and his son Paulo's pipes. Enjoy!

Old Cajun,

I'm glad I'm not the only one who is touched by that history, quite a man, fluent in 8 languages and helped the OSS with codes through the war and finally moving to Rome where he was an accomplished architect taking up making pipes as a hobby prior to retiring. I always raise one of his pipes to his memory when I smoke it.
