DAVIDOFF 102

France

Zino Davidoff (1906-1994), one of the most famous tobacco businessmen and revolutionary (even iconic) people of the XX century’s culture said “the pipe is a valuable companion, the essence of tranquility and must be smoked with respect”.

Of course, rich variety of luxury tobacco and tobacco related products offered under the Davidoff brand would be incomplete without luxury as well smoking pipes. The pipes are beeing made since 1974 by leading French manufacturers such as Butz-Choquin and Cuty Fort Group (known for the Chacom, Jeantet, Vuillard, Lacroix and Ropp brands). An exclusive item!

The depth is 4.2 cm (1.65″) and this pipe weights 36 gr. Briar, ascrylic stem, no filter. The surface of the stem has already an age related webbing.
