Comoy’s Christmas 2018 Sandblasted Dublin Estate Briar Pipe, Unsmoked

Description

Comoy’s is a historic brand in pipe making, and possibly the most historic brand in the making of briar pipes. Though originally founded in 1825 by a French family from Saint Claude, France, production of Comoy’s pipes was soon moved to London, England, where it established itself as one of the quintessential English pipe companies.

While Christmas pipes today are more readily associated with Savinelli or Peterson, the great English (or in this case, English-French) makes have been putting out limited edition seasonal offerings for far longer than either. Though, as far as I’m aware, Comoy’s stopped making Christmas pipes in the late-2010s, the make had been producing them since the 1970s at least. This one, from 2018, is one of my favorites among the Comoy’s seasonal offerings, being a classically-inclined bent Dublin with a beautiful, ring grain sandblast, a golden collar, and imitation horn acrylic stem, all of which comes together to create a genuine old-world charm.

This Comoy’s is also completely unsmoked, with an original bowl coating. It comes with its original box and sleeve.
