Butz-Choquin Belami Select 0110 Lovat Briar Pipe There’s something about a Lovat that just feels right — the long shank gives it balance, the short saddle stem keeps it neat, and it looks like the sort of pipe you’d trust for a quiet think. Butz-Choquin have been turning them out in Saint-Claude since 1858, and the Belami Select range shows they haven’t lost their touch. The 0110 is finished in a smooth, polished walnut stain that brings the briar grain to life without showing off. The draw’s as steady as a metronome, and with a 9mm filter, it smokes cool and clean. There’s a bit of French flair in the shaping, mind — just enough curve to give it some character. The name “Belami” means “good friend,” which suits it down to the ground. Not a showpiece, but the sort of pipe you’ll keep reaching for, because it always behaves itself.
