The finest French export second only to Dom Perignon! Butz Choquin pipes are hand crafted from the finest Mediterranean Briar according to a meticulous manufacturing process that has been perfected over a 140 year history through 4 generations. Every Butz Choquin briar block is dried naturally over several months before being passed through the hands of no fewer than 80 craftsmen until the final pipe is polished and inspected ready to be rehomed.
Metal condensing filter, 9mm absorbent or no filter!? You decide! The Butz Choquin Mirage range is finished with a rich golden stain which really emphasises the grain, then finished with a thick glossy lacquer which gives this pipe real eye catching qualities. The name comes from the really beautiful pearlescent acrylic stem which if you stare long enough at you might see a waterhole on the horizon.
The Butz Choquin Mirage 1789 is a half bent apple shaped bowl, which fits the hand very well. The apple shape has a slightly thicker wall towards the base, which helps prevent the pipe overheating where it matters the most. It has an average bore, that isn't as deep as the other pipes in the range, which helps remove even more weight from an already light pipe.
Multi purpose filter: The Mirage now come with Butz Choquins new multi purpose filter. It is a confusing choice to make when choosing a new pipe. Do you want a metal condensing filter a 9mm absorbant filter or an un-restricted full on smoke. Now you have the choice and can sample the different effects of each.
