Cavicchi - very nice pipe and smokes wonderfully

Chheda - very nice stuff - not familiar with how they smoke but super craftsmanship there

Becker - wow you surely have good taste - I know only one owner and he says it's comparable to the best Danish -
Great purchases, I approve :puffy:

I'd die for the third Becker, but I'm in a short fat big bowl mode right now, and I wouldn't kick the first two out of bed!

I don't like the first one - the Cavicchi. It has nice grains but the shape is not optimal made for my eyes, let the details alone (craftsmanship, finish etc..). The [Cavicchi] bowl would be better to have a top similar to the second one - the Becker, and and and..
I have seen the Becker on that website. It is a great great pipe. The bowl is absolutely a crazy one! I have never seen a chamber that was drilled that off from center. But it makes perfect sense. Congrats! I think it's one of the best pipes Wolfgang has ever created, if not the Best.

(Update: for 2850$ it is definitely cheap, in comparison with many pipes for sale nowaday).
The third one is a nice pipe, but not great. Although I can not imagine how to improve the shape if it were my work, but my feeling tells me that it's not optimal shaped.

Premal Chheda is the owner of Smoker's Haven in Columbus, OH. One of his employees is pipe carver Bill Shalosky. A few years ago Premal came out with a line of Chheda pipes and as far as I know he buys the wood and designs the shape, but it's Bill Shalosky who does the actual carving.
Bill also has a line of pipes under his own name.
