They vary wildly, they were made for a long time. But for the most part they tend to be thin in the bite zone. Resistance to oxidation varies from pipe to pipe.

Comoy's stems are "clicky" and they have a thin button (and for me, the reasons they are most comfortable to smoke). If you are a hard clencher, they will crack eventually.
Oxidation - better than most British brands of the era.

Here's my first Comoy's-stamped briar, an estate Tradition pot, Shape 126, which I recently purchased from the Forums' ssjones. This pipe is pre-Cadogan production and features the three-part "C" logo in the stem. Once the temperature here in Dogtown gets above freezing I am looking forward to giving it its baptism by fire!
This pipe joins five Comoy's seconds in my collection: two Guildhalls, one Everyman, one Townhall, and one Royal Coachman. All are good smokers, and I expect the Tradition to be the same.

Beautiful pipe, Hunter. Comoys are among my favorites of the English made pipes. I too have gotten a couple from Alan.

Thank-you!
Up until this purchase, all of the major British marques (with the exception of a branded Comoy's) were represented in my collection. Based upon the solid performance of my Comoy's seconds I knew that I wanted one, but only this touched all of the requisite bases.

I just waxed the Select 126 pot (referenced above in this thread) that I purchased from ssjones. What is it about their briar and/or its finishing that makes it react so well to carnauba? The grain simply pops and is glowingly gorgeous!
