Chacom Richmond 403 Smooth Bent Dublin Estate Briar Pipe, Unsmoked [SOLD OUT]

Description

Chacom is one of France’s most historic and iconic makes. Its founders, the Comoy family, began their career as boxwood pipe-makers in the early 1800s, before briar had even been discovered, with Henri Comoy (of Comoy’s fame) emigrating to England in 1879 and founding the country’s first briar pipe factory. In 1922, Henri and his nephews, the Chapuis, founded the Chapuis Comoy pipe factory in Saint-Claude, France, which shortly after began producing pipes bearing the partnered families’ names – ‘Cha’ for Chapuis, and ‘Com’ for Comoy. Chacom has been the biggest name in French pipes ever since.

The Richmond is a beautiful, though sadly discontinued, series, and one that seems to sell almost as quickly as I can put them on our website. I could have sworn that we’d sold the last one already, but I suppose there was one left after all. It is no less beautiful than the others, being covered in chatoyant bird’s-eye grain and adorned with an amber-like ferrule and stem band.

The pipe is completely unsmoked, with a factory-original bowl coating to help ease in its first smokes. It also comes with its original box and sleeve.
