PAD from the late Paulo Becker

[fishnbanjo]

There was no way I could pass over this pencil shank stack by the late Paulo Becker weighing an amazing 31 grams!

Great pipe Fish, awaiting on a large Strawberry Billard from Becker , Dave Neeb had it, you were right about the Strawberry, slow and steady and you've got a fine smoker.

And thank you again for the purchase, fishnbanjo. My family thanks you, too. It's beef in the beans tonight at supper. I'm off to the grocery store right now! :wink:

That's a stunner!

I don't know if anyone else makes such an elegant, thin pipe. Daniel (londonmake)has several Group 1-ish Beckers that are just incredible.

I usually don't care for poker style pipes, but this is exceptionally nice.

You have great taste in pipes fishnbanjo. I know very little about Paulo Becker, but the man certainly left the world a real gift with his pipes. His creativity was something. Enjoy and thank you for sharing the picture.

Oh man, fish', that's a pipe that was born to burley. That's a Semois pipe if I ever saw one. That may not be your plan for this beauty, but it is an exquisite pipe for the purpose.

That's a Semois pipe if I ever saw one.

I agree. Imagine the last half of the bowl in that one!

 

[fishnbanjo]

Never had Semois so it's not destined for that, this will be a pipe for very special occasions since longer than 30 minutes is nothing I generally do unless Levi and I were on a walkabout, with his neurological disorder we can no longer do this which both of us miss.
