French Estates: Butz-Choquin Bagatelle (1286) Tobacco Pipe

Butz-Choquin is a French marque who are highly regarded for their faithful interpretations of classic shape chart standards, striking finishes, and their occasional fanciful Freehands. The Bagatelle line comprises a number of shapes from the marque's portfolio, all dressed in a craggy, darkly-stained rustication. The stummel's finish offers plenty of texture to appreciate in hand, and it's been paired to a stylish accent of smoky, swirling acrylic at the shank end: acting as the junction to a sleek, black acrylic stem. The line is seen here dressing Butz-Choquin's "1286" bent Dublin.
