Butz-Choquin Handmade Large Bent Partial Sandblast Freehand with Brass Estate Pipe
Item # FE268192$195.00
Details
Massive in hand and drilled with a particularly large chamber for long and satisfying sessions lasting for hours at a time, this Butz-Choquin freehand estate pipe from France is a very large pipe. The stem is classic red brindle and has been hand cut into a staggered saddle to help balance the handful of stummel. Two brass bands sandwich the slim briar insert that offset the thick walled bowl that features an accentuated and sculpted fin on one side and dense grain beautifully displayed in the smooth finish. The bottom of the bowl, or heel, is heavily sandblasted, likely to remove some soft wood. The draw is gloriously smooth and even with a light pack, this French redhead will be fine entertainment for the whole evening. There are a few minor handling marks around the bowl and some very minor teethmarks just on the outer edge of the button's top shoulder, but this stunning and large smoker is in excellent condition.
