Comoy’s Claridge 1770 Smooth Bent Cobra Estate Briar Pipe, English Estates

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.

This Comoy’s is a very unusual pipe from the famed French-English make. It’s certainly different from the Comoy’s pipes I’m used to seeing, so much so that I’ve categorized the shape as a cobra, as that’s the closest one I can think of for it. In any case, it’s a great looking shape, in addition to being highly distinct, with plenty of bird’s-eye grain patterns covering its arching bowl.

The condition is very good. Some minor inner rim darkening and handling marks.
