An exceptionally handsome 1970s estate piece by renowned French pipemaker Butz-Choquin. Stamped "Butz-Choquin Commandeur Extra" alongside "ST CLAUDE FRANCE 1281," this pipe showcases the absolute best of traditional Saint-Claude craftsman grading.
The bowl is a masterclass in natural briar aesthetics, boasting an extraordinary density of swirling flame grain along the flanks and a dazzling field of tight bird's-eye across the rim and heel. Accentuated by a delicate double-beaded ring around the bowl perimeter and paired with a gracefully swept bent stem featuring BC's iconic metallic logo sealed beneath a clear inlaid acrylic insert, this lightweight 35-gram smoker offers pure French elegance in every detail.
