Butz Choquin - L De 1116 (Rouge)

The BC L De pipes combine all the elegance and grace of the classic opera style pipes, with an almost petit churchwarden feel. Finish smooth with a rouge stain with curved, vulcanite stem and white acrylic band. While the name may imply these pipe are only for women, they can be enjoyed by any pipe smoker. The small bowl makes these ideal for short smoke breaks or a quick bowl with a coffee in a morning. 

The pair set about creating a unique and distinct pipe, the now world famous “BC Origine” was first created in same year. This flat bottomed bowl was fitted with a long albatross bone shank and dual silver rings. To this day this pipe is one of the most iconic from Butz Choquin range, although sadly it no longer has the natural shank, replaced with acrylic.

Over the years the pair created a large range of pipes which not only sold within their own, but exported all over Europe and further field. The popularity of the pairs pipes grew and grew and by the 1951 the Berrod-Regad company brought out the family company. Production continued in Metz until 2002 when the whole operation was shifted to the mountain community St Claude. This picturesque village had been the centre of the worlds Briar trade for generations and the local craftsmen continued to produce high quality pipes.

To this day Butz Choquin are renowned for their desire of making more interesting and left field colour schemes. Using high quality briar, original equipment and colourful dyes/acrylic rods.
