French Estates: Chacom Champs Elysees (186) Tobacco Pipe

The Chacom story began in 1825, when the Comoy family crafted boxwood pipes for soldiers in Napoleon's army near Saint-Claude, France, long before the discovery of briar as a pipe-making material. In the mid- to late-19th century, it was the Comoys, with their cousins, the Chapuis family, who introduced briar pipes to the world, writing a new chapter in the history of tobacco smoking. Known today as Chacom, a combination of the Chapuis and Comoy names, the venerable French marque continues its legacy of innovation while preserving its timeless traditions, offering quality pipes for smokers of all persuasions. Chacom’s style spans timeless examples of Anglo-French shaping to expressive, Danish-influenced pipes designed by renowned artisans, with lines like the Churchwarden, Reverse Calabash, Fleur, and Eltang standing out among their more classical work. The brand’s pipes benefit from a range of expressive finishes that include vintage-style smooth stains such as the Club, Complice, and Nougat, alongside vibrant, contemporary dressings from lines like the Jurassic, Montmartre, and Champs Élysées. Chacom also makes a line of morta pipes, further expanding their mastery of pipe making beyond briar.
