Hi everybody. I bought a Butz Choquin pipe the other day in a flea market in Greece. I was wondering if anyone had any information about the model. It has Flash 023 stamped under the brand name. I can upload pictures if anyone wants to see. I am curious about the age of the pipe and overall quality as I am pretty new at pipe smoking.
Thanks, Yllwbeard

I have a Butz as well, and its a marvelous smoke. Its a full bent calabash. Unsure of the markings. I'll post a pic when I get home.
I found no informations for Butz and 023, so I can't help you there.

Thanks for the effort and great Im eager to see yours! From what I have been told they are wonderful pipes. I still have to clean mine before smoking since it was most definitely smoked quite a bit judging from the heavy cake!

I have two BC's, a bent blast billiard 1304 Caprice, and a Rocaille blast 1601 straight billiard, both

readily viewed at online retailers. They great, light weight pipes in traditional designs, and good smokers

along the lines of Stanwells and Sav's. I don't know about your particular model, but French pipes from

St. Claudes generally provide elegant traditional designs at excellent prices. Many of the lauded English

designs follow the French designs. If your pipe is in good shape, it will deliver a fine smoke for years to come.

This is great news!! I picked it up for about 6$ American. Sounds like a steal regardless of its age. I'm looking forward to my first smoke with it, I will be sure to let everyone know.
