Chacom, Comoy, Chapuis Comoy, confusion. All three pipe brands issue from the same French
company put together by two major families, that relocated, in part, to London for a time, but
continues to make pipes in France. If you are interested in the history and evolution of all this,
there's a good article at the Chacom web site. The current high end pipes come out under the
Chacom and Comoy stamps, but the economy pipes come out as Chapuis Comoy. You don't expect
to get a Dunhill when you buy a Parker, and likewise you don't get a Chacom or Comoy when you
buy a Chapuis Comoy, but you get a solid, perfectly drilled, smooth briar pipe with actual grain,
not streaks of black stain imitating grain, at some sites for just over $30. For new smokers building
a rotation, or others seeking a work or car pipe, this is the place. Take a look at tobaccopipes.com.
Or take a look at the mid or higher end pipes, Chacom or Comoy, which are at excellent prices, as
are many French pipes, undervalued.
