Becker & Music Pipe Shop

[peckinpahhombre]

I arrived in Rome on Saturday and I am working there all this week. Shane Ireland at SP suggested I drop in to see Massimo Musico at the Becker & Musico store and on Saturday that's just what I did.
What a fun shop, just a couple of blocks from the Trevi Fountain. Massimo was a delight to meet and I ended up buying a couple of pipes. When in Rome . . . stop in and meet Massimo.

I picked up these pipes - a Canadian and brandy.

Looks like a fun time! Great photos, Peck. And a lovely couple of pipes too. :clap: I have to ask... is that your butt print on the sofa? :rofl:

Excellent trip Peck! Beautiful shop! Great pictures and I love those two pipes, especially that Canadian. Never thought I'd like a straight pipe too much, but I love the way they're carved and leave such a beautiful long shank out of the briar. Great trip!

I have to ask... is that your butt print on the sofa? :rofl:

Got an interests in Peck's butt there Anthony? I mean, I don't judge... :rofl:

No, but that is my bag sitting on the sofa. Are you interested in my butt or my bag?

I love that too. I have always had an affinity for long shanked pipes. Indeed, that is why I started Project Longshanks, a comission of the 4 classic long shank pipe shapes, all in a set: http://pipesmagazine.com/forums/topic/michael-parks-project-longshanks

He's been sailing far too long on the Black Frigate, I'm afraid. I believe some shore leave is in his future...or should be, that is. :rofl:

I think I've seen that display of the pipes before, but I haven't seen that link before. Those are absolutely stunning! Especially that one with the white stem. That's a very excellent set of them and a beautiful display box you have. He did an amazing job there.

8O Well, that is a nice bag. Is it buffalo butt?

I might need that. I've seen things, man... terrible things... 8O

Awesome pics. I will be there in three weeks and your post adds excitement to the upcoming trip. Congrats on your pipe purchases Peck. Are you going to visit Novelli also?

 

[peckinpahhombre]

Neal, I have tried Novelli twice now and it was closed both times. Not sure what the hours are there but I can't seem to nail them. I my give it one more try before I leave.

Love these kind of threads, thanks for sharing pictures of your visit!

Oh, yeah. Great shots! And a women's slow smoking contest poster!
Not too bad on the pipes, either.

 

[mothernaturewilleatusallforbreakfast]

Great post! I wish I was there. I've owned a few Foundation pipes and enjoyed them quite a bit. I hope you enjoy yours. ::

I also love this kind of threads with pictures. And that bag was begging for a pipe:
