This exceptional Straight Bulldog is a masterclass in French pipemaking, hailing from the renowned Maison B. Laville in Montluçon.
Bearing the prestigious "Au Narghileh" trademark—a mark of quality established in 1910—this line was famously awarded a silver medal at the 1932 Paris Exposition. This particular "Altesse Spéciale" model combines historical significance with the robust, classic geometry of the Bulldog shape.
