THE LAST PRECIOUS FEW PIPES

After listing my pipe collection on eBay, it’s time to part with the favorites - my Ashtons by Bill Taylor, my Ferndowns by Les Wood, and a few other high end pieces. Any of these that don’t sell, I will gladly keep.

Here is a BECKER & MUSICO 1999 (5 Years 4) CANADIAN - RARE 360° Relief Grain with Crossgrain Rim ITALIAN ESTATE PIPE

NEAR MINT CONDITION - Leather pipe bag

Becker & Musico was a collaboration in 1995 between the late great Paolo Becker and Massimo Musico where I'm to understand Paolo did most of the work carving the pipes and finishing them with Musico doing the stem work fitting the the hand-cut stems.

This rare RELIEF GRAIN beauty was carved in 1999 and is a traditional Canadian about a Dunhill Group 4 or 5 and comes in near mint condition. (…that is to say it has been smoked)

It has had one owner since the day it was bought at the Becker & Musico pipe shop in Rome and only cube cut (LJ Peretti BPC) Burley has been all I have smoked in it. You are buying a beautiful condition pipe.

It offers a perfectly formed bowl with super thick walls and a healthy sized chamber. The transition is crisp to a long shank that ends with the original hand-cut vulcanite fishtail stem with signature logo inlaid on the top.

Finish is a deep and rich natural. Lots of Cross cut and Birdseye grain under the sandblast finish. I have owned and collected many sandblast pipes by Becker and Musico. This is one of the best!

A phenomenal chance to acquire a Becker & Musico which are considered to be one of the finest collaboration pipes of all time and awaits its new owner.
