Butz-Choquin Frégate 1025 – Rhodesian Briar Pipe Saint-Claude’s been turning briar into something worth smoking since the 1800s, and Butz-Choquin (1858) have hardly missed a watch change. The Frégate 1025 keeps one foot in tradition and one on the gangplank. You get a classic bent billiard bowl—warm walnut stain, neat double lines cut around the rim—so it sits right in the hand and draws steady. Then they’ve fitted a clear acrylic stem, which gives the whole thing a clean, modern look; like a polished hull with a glassy prow. No brass buttons or parade ground fuss, just a cool, even smoke through a 9mm filter. It’s the sort of pipe you reach for when you fancy a bit of French flair without scaring the cat. Old Saint-Claude craft, tidy finish, and that transparent stem that catches the light nicely—job done.
