Butz-Choquin Pallas 7787 Bent Belge Estate Pipe

Finished smooth with a heel oriented radius of flame grain washing over the bowl, this Butz-Choquin Pallas estate pipe from France has a thick round shank and a long saddle stem.  There is a lot of briar wall insulating the wide and cylindrical chamber making this beautifully finished bent smoker an excellent vessel for those broad cuts and broken flakes.  There is a hint of inner rim darkening toward the back of the bowl that could not be removed during restoration but this French bent is in outstanding condition with a smooth and open draw.
