About This 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 with a particular focus on slight deviations from typical Anglo-French shapes.
This Musico Rhodesian is marked by swirling birdseye on the bowl's left flank and cross grain with more birdseye on the right flank, all of it finished smoothly and stained a warm mahogany hue for easy appreciation. The bowl is canted forward to the point of the fore wall standing almost perpendicular to the shank below the single beadline, giving this piece a unique profile for its shape. The bowl is somewhat steep above the beadline, and the round shank backs up to an accent ring of silver before meeting with the tapered vulcanite stem. The generous cant of the bowl gives this piece a profile almost near that of a Devil Anse, and the curious grain pattern is certain to keep the eyes occupied with each smoke.
