Hey y'all I've recently ran across a Chacom I really like online and was wondering if I could get some comments on Chacom as a brand. I also wanted to know if anyone could tell me from what line is this particular on from it's not listed on the site (yes the site is a reputable one). Here's a link to it: http://www.smokingpipes.net/pipes/new/Chacom/moreinfo.cfm?product_id=94605

If that link is removed (as is done in some forums) here's a description: Chacom Smooth Bent Bulldog with Faux Horn Stem (acrylic), has a diamond shaped shank and stem, and is stained medium mohogany or cherry walnut (not quite sure what it's called technically). If anyone can give me any info, constructive criticism or general experiences with this please post. Thanks y'all.

In France, I believe, Chacom is considered to be the best Saint Claude has to offer. The other 'C' in the logo is for Chapuis. I know them personally as very well-made pipes and smooth smokers. Your choice is not my taste in stems, but the shape of the bowl is a fine classic and looks good!

I've got a lone Chacom in my stable, but she has never failed to provide me with an exceptional smoke (although I did ace the stinger). From the "Quebec" line; I topped the bowl, then faded the blast to deal with a massive chip.

Thanks hobie1dog, but I already went there and still could not find this pipe or any in this style (i.e. the faux horn stems). But I appreciate the attempt man. If you know of any other references then by all means post them please.

Yeah that BC is nice and I was actually stuck on it until I saw the Chacom. Something about the diamond shank and stem I like a little better on the bulldog/rhodesian styles. But either way their both french, haha. (Not a crack on frenchies)

I have two in the rack... and that's usually where they stay :-(
Contrary to SchmitzBitz, I haven't been too excited about them. They smoke less open than either my Savs or my Petes. So I'm sticking with those two brands most of the time.
