It might come as a surprise that this pipe was originally designed in 1857 ........ okay the name of the pipe might have given that away but humour us. This model was the original pipe released to the world by Gustave Butz and Jean Choquin, which was revolutionary at the time and set the foundations of what has become one of the most successful and renowned pipe manufacturers we know today. They enjoyed worldwide success on the back of this unique masterpiece, which was that far ahead of it's time it is still a key pipe in their range nearly 150 years later! And it's not just beautiful to the eye the pipe is clearly made with the pipe smoking enthusiasts in mind. This pipe is made to be enjoyed not just displayed.

The bowl is made from the finest Briar that Butz Choquin have become renowned for, with an extended bone effect stem in between two nickel bands. In fact the original 1857 used an actual Albatross bone for the stem! These days they're made from more sustainable materials but its long, thin walled shank allows the smoke more time to cool and is now designed to incorporate the popular 9mm absorbent filter. The bowl size is quite large with a deep bore, perfect for a long evening in front of the fire.
