French Estates: Chacom Match (95) (Unsmoked) Tobacco Pipe

With its poised profile and light weight, this "95" Acorn from Chacom is a sleek, elegant take on the classic shape. A pert, pointed bowl stands at the fore of the composition, with soft curves spanning from its prominent heel to its plump, rounded rim. Out back, an upturned shank and smartly bent stem promote a relaxed smoking posture. The stummel of this offering is dressed in a warm stain that highlights the briar's handsome grain, and a smooth, high-gloss finish that highlights its supple curves.

Chacom, a portmanteau of “Chapuis” and “Comoy”, was the result of these two influential families combining their pipemaking expertise to form a single, soon-to-be-storied manufacturing company. In the decades that followed the marque’s establishment, Chacom pipes would be distributed not just throughout France, but also Belgium, Scandinavia, Germany, Japan, and the United States, to name just a few countries.
