Bontemps 74

France

A pipe from the glorious St Claude family, which also includes such famous brands as Butz Choquin, Chap, Claude Romain, Jima. Behind all that names stands franch Berrod-Regad group, whose factory has been working at 2 ter rue du Plan du Moulin (Saint Claude) since 1900 – a typical French family enterprise. And of course the pipe is typically for St Claude skilfully made and refined: the elongated mouthpiece adds to the traditional billiards special charm.
