About This Pipe

How does this guy do it?! Given the number of pipes from Paolo Becker that I have seen over the years (I have actually owned seven Royal Flushes myself) this unsmoked bit of magnificence came as a complete surprise to me. I have never seen a Royal Flush Twister, then again, this is also my first encounter with his rarefied Collection Grade (indicates an extremely difficult shape execution). I was a tad incredulous, until I looked at the straight grain that Paolo maintained throughout the tier process (Becker's twisters are actually concentric bevels of decreasing/increasing size). This is one jaw-dropping pinnacle that a Becker fan should really consider stretching for.
