Butz-Choquin Millésime Extra Bent Billiard UNSMOKED Estate Pipe

Beautifully finished in a light tan that reveals the natural contrast of the dense straight grain wrapped all the way around the bowl, this French Millésime Extra billiard estate pipe from Butz-Choquin is gorgeous in both its curved profile of shape and proportion and again with a lovely display of briar's inherent radial grain.  The word Millésime is a reference to vintage, usually associated with a specific year a wine was produced, but the old French style that predates all other geographic or regional designs is clearly present here.  Free of any fills or flaws, this bent briar will make a comfortable clencher and is drilled with a cylindrical chamber at the sweet-spot of width size to accommodate any favorite blend, sweet or complex.  Included with its original sleeve, this French smoker is also well drilled for easy passage of a cleaner and an open and smooth draw sure to impress any level of experienced smoker.
