Smooth Bent Brandy with Silver (Floodlight) Tobacco Pipe

Paolo Becker and Massimo Musico crafted Becker & Musico pipes together, with Paolo on the lathe and Massimo focusing on mouthpieces and bands, until 2002 when Paolo turned to crafting pipes under his own name. Today, Massimo continues to make pipes under his own name with a particular focus on slight deviations from typical Anglo-French shapes.

The bowl of this bent Brandy from Musico is classically shaped, the walls decorated with alternating cross grain and birdseye and stained to a light, walnut-like hue. The heel is quite round and generous in hand, while the shank is dramatically upturned into a cylindrical accent of silver. The push-style stem is a length of lightly tapered, deeply bent vulcanite that stretches generously back to the bit, giving this piece a final length just under six inches.
