I want to thank Banjo and Cosmic for convincing me to try one. I got a Becker "pot" about two weeks ago. I would call it a short billiard but anyway, it smokes brilliantly. I have a small selection of very fine pipes and this is a good as any of them and better than some. It is a mid level 2 of clubs blast, interesting looking but not exceptionally eye catching.
It wasn't cheap but it wasn't ridiculously expensive. I have 7-10 bowls in it and it smokes everything perfectly. My normal M.O. It to dedicate a pipe to either Va, VaPer, or Latakia. That usually happens quickly. This pipe smoke everything equally well.
It is dated 15, so I assume it was made by Federico. If so there is no need to worry about his craftsmanship. So if you are considering one, go ahead and pull the trigger
