Butz - Choquin D'Argent 1304 1/2 Bent Billiard (9mm Filter) with Silver Estate Pipe

This lovely little smoker comes to us from France, from major pipe producer Butz-Choquin. There is a lot to fawn over here. The cross grain is dense, the silver mount handsome, and BC managed to incorporate the ability to accommodate a 9mm filter in the stem. Often 9mm filter pipes have obnoxiously large shanks, but this one looks great (You can smoke it without the filter, if so desired). The stem is a durable acrylic, but given the weight and bend, it should be an easy clencher. In excellent condition, save for some minor rim darkening and one tiny (and I mean tiny!) fill in the bowl. Comes with the original sleeve.
