French Estates: Chacom Seduction Sandblasted (810) Tobacco Pipe

The largest French brand to still combine tradition, creation, and innovation, Chacom pipes are now sold in over 40 countries. Initially manufacturing boxwood pipes for Napoleon's army, the Comoy family eventually joined forces with their cousins, the Chapuises, as one of the first brands to carve briar pipes. Now known as Chacom, the business has a storied history and is still going strong, providing the world with incredible pipes almost 200 years later.

This "810" bent Egg from Chacom provides the smoker with a satisfying feel both in the hand and between the teeth. From a firm heel, the bowl slightly cants forward as the walls climb to a slanted rim, the chamber within containing plenty of room for lengthy smoking sessions. From a wide transition, an oval shank connects to a saddle stem made of sunny acrylic. The colorful stem complements the dark mahogany stain along the sandblasted stummel, which displays rich grain throughout.
