Becker: Smooth Acorn (Royal Flush) Tobacco Pipe

The Becker family has built an impressive reputation among pipe aficionados over the past 50 years, creating high quality smoking implements since the 1970's. Third-generation carver Federico now continues the Becker name, preserving his family's traditions while developing his own personal style.

A muscular Acorn, this piece features a tall, domed bowl with a beveled, asymmetrical rim, features that create a playful organicism up top, while a proud, pointed heel dominates the fore, flattened at the base to allow for sure sitting. Out back, a slim round shank joins a tapered stem of jet-black vulcanite, which contrasts handsomely with golden blonde finish of Royal Flush-grade stummel. This pipe's designation is reserved for only a few pipes from Federico, marking this as one of his most premium offerings. The stummel attests to said quality with bright streaks of flame grain all around the bowl, as well as dense birdseye at the heel and rim.
