At one time I thought they were a "gotta have", 29 years ago. But I don't think they are as good as perceived, nothing special to me, just good.

I'm having a Comoy's Oastleton 215 restored right now. It's hard to find much information on it, but its nice and I hope it will be a great smoker once restored.
I must admit that Comoy's Blue Riban are some of the most beautiful classical pipes I've ever seen; mainly due to the grain and stain. Never owned one though, but would like to. :puffy:

The older, pre-Cadogan pipes smoke wonderfully. I just sold two, to acquire this 499 Extraordinaire (will do a post on it next).

I have an old Comoy Patina that smokes beautifully. If they all smoke like that, I'll be buying a few more.
I also have a Gresham Giant (Comoy sub-brand/second) that is just down the list to restore as well as a Disney World pipe by Comoy that should be restored fairly soon. If I remember, I'll give you the verdict on them when they're ready.

Glad to see some green on the stems of the Pros/Experts! Make me feel better. Beautiful pipes.

I absolutely love my 3 Comoy's. They smoke fantastic. All three are dedicated to English style tobacco blends, the Sandblast is dedicated to Orientals (e.g., Squadron Leader), while the Grand Slam is dedicated to Balkans.

I have two Comoy's, One bent and the other is a straight. The straight smokes wonderful, have to work the tobacco alot more with the bent but it's still a good smoke.
