In spite of the worsening arthritis in my right hand, I still can't help working on old pipes. I recently bought this great Chacom Deauville pipe. I had one of these back in the late 80s but passed it on for reasons I can't remember. Later I kind of missed its uniqueness. I found an ad for Chacom pipes from 1978 that shows these to be one of their top pipes, selling for $45 at the time. A fair amount for the day I figure. I know Charatan had a line like these called After Hours with a yellow shank extension, but the extension was larger than the Chacom's. I like the looks of these and this one took a lot of work to restore but I'm happy with the results.
