French Estates: Chacom Saint Claude (185) Tobacco Pipe

The Chacom legacy is longstanding, with the Comoy family making pipes as far back as 1825 in the French village of Avignon. The Comoy marque's founder, Henri Comoy, was taken as a prisoner of war in Switzerland in 1870, where he met his cousins, the Chapuis. Here, the idea for a Chapuis-Comoy collaboration was born, which then became fully realized in 1922. This would lead to the "Chacom" marque, a portmanteau of the two family names. This "185" Billiard by Chacom thoroughly embodies Anglo-French shaping conventions with its well-measured figure. The bowl stands pert and upright, transitioning into a proportionally balanced shank. Punctuating the shank is an elegant metal accent band which pairs to a tapered stem of jet-black acrylic. The stummel wears a fetching walnut stain highlighting a wealth of birdseye on the right flank.
