Despite the name it’s not a French pipe, rather an Italian one. However such affodable and reliable pipes are quite frequently represented in pipe shops in many Europian cities and from own experience we can say Jean Claude can serve as a good first pipe or an undemanding everyday device for many practical smokers. The pipe has been restored to order.
