Butz Choquin Camargue 1621 Smooth Billiard Estate Briar Pipe, French Estates

Description

With its origins in an 1858 collaboration between Jean-Baptiste Choquin and Gustave Butz, Butz-Choquin ultimately become one of the premier smoking pipe companies in 20th century France. The brand is known both for its stylish variations on traditional English-French shapes and for its exploration of atypical and elaborate finishes. The brand is also known for its collaborations with celebrated French pipe-makers, such as Paul Lanier and Alain Albuisson, who made some of Butz-Choquin’s highest-grade pipes for the company.  

Named after the Camargue region in France, Butz-Choquin’s Camargue line featured classic shapes, a light brown stain, and a horn-hued acrylic army mount. This 1621 model is a long billiard that houses a very generous chamber, while also being quite lightweight, especially with its comfortable vulcanite stem.

The condition is great. Some minor wear to the rim.
