Chacom Elements Sandblasted 390. Absolutely amazed by this pipe. From the presentation in the suede and leather box to the construction. It’s built like a war club and it’s gorgeous to boot! Have not smoked it yet but hope to later this week. If it smokes half as good as it looks I’ll be ecstatic!
I just got this little BC yesterday. The bulbous shape reminds me a bit of a certain Savinelli model that is quite popular with people (though I forget the name).
Go this one a couple days ago. Cleaned it up and put it through the paces today. S.T. Dupont Sandblast #316 6LAT16. 
What a wonderful pipe. May it give you many enjoyable smokes.
What a coincidence, that looks like the exact model of Genod I've been contemplating purchasing plus I'm getting my hands on some Tuarekh today. I know it's early but what are your thoughts on that pipe so far?
This model also looks really nice:
Thanks for the side by side, now I've a difficult decision to make!
How do you find them?
My latest addition: a Butz Choquin Simoun, with the odd little copper plate inlay. Still trying to figure that detail out.
I had the same dilema so I split the difference. Same postage.
I just had my first bowl, but so far, I like a lot. A real departure from most of my other pipes. I do enjoy the small Danish pipes, and the Acorn is similar to a Kriswill that I have, but with a longer stem.
Figured I’d add a pic of my pipes from France. with exception to the Chacom all of these came in a lot of pipes I bought from our very own Sigmund who was selling $20 pipes right when I needed such a deal. These are now all in my normal rotation. A few need a good cleaning. But from top left to bottom left:
1. Small panel Jeantet. This is a very small pipe. Looks bigger than it really is.
2. A cool designed bigger Jeantet panel with a square shank and stem.
3. Chap-St. Claude
4. St. Claude Briar Grantie saddle stem.
Top right to bottom right.
1. Chacom 185 ans.
2. basket pipe with the name Golf on the shank
and St. Claude on the the other side of shank.
3. Ropp Six.
All are excellent smokers.

My only French pipe. A Chacom Cap Blanc 118.
Two from Cedric Lefebvre of Pipes Ocaz -- a Ropp Six (or should that be "sisse?") and a Bruyere St. Cloude cutty:
My latest acquisition is also my first French-made pipe, this Merton prince estate with beautiful straight grain all around the bowl.
