Calvin Candie Pipe

[hmhaines]

Googley searchings showed me that you've discussed Tarantino's use of pipes in his movies before, but I couldn't find anything on specific pipe identification. I'm not looking to buy one, but I am curious about the pipe smoked by Calvin Candie (DiCaprio) in Django Unchained.

Candie is billed as a "Francophile", so I assume that this is either a French or French-style pipe. I am also guessing that this is a handmade pipe specifically built for the movie. However, I know very little about pipe shapes and I look forward to reading what you know!

I just did a google image search of Butz Choquin churchwarden. And the shaping appears correct for some of theirs. Also, it brought up the above photo, and others with Robert Downey Jr. with a similar pipe. Might very well be a Butz Choquin.

Interesting, thanks!

Yes, interesting, but what the hell is on his lip?

 

[disinformatique]

Looks like a BC, yeah?

I agree, Butz Choquin

It's a Savinelli Broomhilda.

 

[hmhaines]

Ahhhh, I see what you did there....

 

[hmhaines]

Holy cow, it wasn't even a joke!

Nope, no joke.

Started to get one a while back.

 

[hmhaines]

Found that Pipe A Porter still has some!

 

[Chasing Embers]

A few on eBay as well. May get one to smoke on IPSD. ::

That's funny! :rofl: I totally thought the Broomhilda was a joke too.
