[QUOTE="AugustOx, post: 551454, member: 4521"] Hello Folks, This evening I joined Brothers of Briar and I'm very glad to be here - though, I landed here in a somewhat circuitous manner. Specifically... ...Recently I became very interested in briar pipes: design, crafting, various styles and shapes. After a few weeks of internet learning/viewing, I decided that I **had to have** a pipe of my own - specifically, a Becker (their aesthetic just spoke to me). For a few days, I've been on the fence about taking the plunge (particularly at the Becker price point). I was going back and forth when - tonight - I found several of banjo's (Sante's) posts here on BoB in which he lauds his Beckers (and shared some great photos of them/him). And, then, I saw the relatively recent thread announcing his death. The description of his life in that thread (and his linked obituary) was quite moving - so much so that I purchased that Becker I've had my eye on. Thank you (banjo and all of you) for helping me in my decision. I'm looking forward to getting to know the group. With Kind Regards. [/QUOTE]
