Comoys (Pre-1980) Satina 270 Smooth Billiard 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.

Taking its name from the lustrous fabric, the Satina was a line of similarly lustrous pipes from Comoy’s London factory. This one is a distinctly long, almost Bing length, billiard, though one that remains a featherweight and likely an easy clencher. Based on the pipe’s three-part C stem inlay, this pipe will have been made prior to 1980 and the Cadogan Investments merger that began in the early 1980s.

The condition is fair. Some rim darkening and wear, and a couple of light scrapes on the bowl exterior.
