Butz-Choquin Bent Paneled Billiard Sitter with Brass Estate Pipe

A sort of hybrid shape with elements of a belge, poker, and billiard all wrestled into this red, smooth finished package of sitting briar from France, this handmade Butz-Choquin estate pipe is paneled around the bowl and sits sturdy on a flat pedestal.  Stemmed with a comfortable clenching ebonite, this large chamber is of conical design and drilled well to the bottom with a smooth open draft.  In outstanding condition with just a little inner rim darkening, this brass trimmed beauty may not show up in a shape chart, but its a sure bet for the part of the rack where the favorite smokers await their next assignment.
