The Italian company Becker, which began to produce in the late 70s of the 20th century, has a very limited production, using extra-large highland heather blocks from the Calabria region of southern Italy
Fritz Becker, an outstanding Italian pipe maker. He was an Austrian Jew who fled to England in the late 30s of the 20th century and worked for the intelligence services during World War II as a translator. After the war, he lived in Rome until his death in 1991. Frieze Baker was a skilled painter, sculptor and designer, as well as a talented pipe maker. In addition to his artistic pursuits, he was the representative of the World Jewish Congress to the Vatican, a respectable position that amounted to an ambassador.
福里兹·贝克和他的儿子，保罗，在20世纪70年代后期开始制作烟斗，产量十分有限。他们选用来自Italy南方卡拉布里亚地区的特大号高原石南木块。特大号高原石南木块是质量最好的石南木，而卡拉布里亚地区产的石南木又是最坚硬而且耐用的。当吉奥吉奥·姆兹科（Giorgio Musico）发现了他们的才能后，贝克烟斗开始渐渐赢得良好的声誉。姆兹科在罗马市中心有一个专业的烟斗商店，当他认识到贝克烟斗的特别之处后，他就把贝克烟斗放在他店里销售。福里兹·贝克和吉奥吉奥·姆兹科（之间良好的的合作关系一直持续了很多年。后来，保罗·贝克（Paolo Becker）和马西姆（Massimo Musico，吉奥吉奥·姆兹科的儿子）创立了一个烟斗品牌“Becker & Musico”，直至2003年，这段合作关系才结束。
姆兹科主要负责制作“Becker & Musico”烟斗，保罗·贝克则制作Becker烟斗。每一个Becker烟斗，从制作外形到染色和抛光以及其他工作都是由保罗·贝克一个人完成，而在1991年福里兹去世之前，Becker烟斗是由他们父子俩共同完成的。也就是说，20世纪70年代和80年代生产的Becker烟斗，都是两人合作完成，不能说这个烟斗是福里兹做的或那个烟斗是保罗做的。
Becker烟斗很难在风格上加以归类。有时候，Becker & Musico烟斗的设计基本上是英国传统的经典风格，最常见的就是他的喷砂斗系列。他的大部分“方块”等级的光面烟斗和相当多的喷砂Dublin和Horn款式的烟斗，体现出了Italy佩扎罗的风格。可以说，在那个时候，保罗·贝克的风格看上去像丹麦的风格，制作非常复杂，形状不对称，特别体现在那些高等级烟斗上，但是又不完全像丹麦的风格，因为他的烟斗有较硬的线条，让人们想到Italy人的奔放。不需要多解释，Becker的风格是不容易被归类的，但是他的烟斗却是如此吸引人。
First of all, in terms of the physical characteristics of briar, it can make such a long and thin cigarette stick, which must be aged and tough, and it is not stable and sweat-free hands and indifferent minds. And the aesthetic taste of modern pipes has long since jumped out of the old-fashioned style of Einstein and Stalin in yellowed albums. In order to match the style of the pipe, Paolo Becker's bowl is usually made into a small apple or an enlarged navel shape, which is actually a subversion of the pipe tradition, and it is normal for traditional masters to figure it out, and players who have experienced various artistic waves have naturally made their own choices.
Becker pipes are not only attractive in appearance, but also in high quality. Paul Baker spends a considerable amount of time on the internal structure of pipes, such as the flue and chamber, and before each pipe is sold, he checks the internal structure to ensure that each pipe is of the highest quality. His pipes are one of the few pipe brands with the best quality smoking.
Becker pipes are produced in very small quantities, and there are a considerable number of Becker pipe fans in Europe and the United States. Now, he produces 250 pipes a year.
