A spectacular piece of high-grade French history. This is a rare, New Old Stock (NOS) unsmoked Millesime 1990 annual limited edition from the famous workshops of St. Claude, France. Individually numbered and stamped as piece 329, this exquisite pipe has been perfectly preserved for over three decades.
The shape is a brilliantly balanced, robust bent that feels incredible in the hand. The bowl boasts a dense, mesmerizing display of cross-grain and swirling birds-eye, finished in a brilliant, high-contrast golden-orange stain. It features an integrated sterling silver year-plaque on the shank, flanked by a gorgeous accent ring that transitions seamlessly into a stunning, sweeping cumberland acrylic stem with the classic embedded "BC" roundel.
Condition Report: 10/10 Mint NOS Condition. The pipe is completely unsmoked with a pristine, fresh chamber. The briar is entirely free of fills, dings, or finish fading. The cumberland stem is mirror-bright with no tooth chatter or oxidation. Includes the original BC protective pouch (no box).
Curation Notes: The Millesime series represents the pinnacle of Butz-Choquin’s craftsmanship, selected from their absolute finest blocks of aged briar. Finding an untouched 1990 edition in this pristine, unsmoked state is an incredible opportunity for the discerning collector.
