Comoy’s Break In Instructions January 1946

[Briar Lee]

In the first January 1946 issue of Pipe Lover’s magazine Comoy’s gave their instructions for breaking in a new briar pipe.




Break in instructions were promised to be a regular feature like the monthly Pipe Dream girl.




And Marx bought a full page full color advertisement on the back page of the first edition.



Mem do not and will never change in the slightest.

We all want a good pipe made of fine, aged Algerian briar and a pretty girl to tell us what a rugged outdoor man of action we look like smoking it.

What a babe! Women back then just had an everyday elegance that seems to have been lost in the cheap and easy generation.

While there's plenty of cheap n easy in both generations, today's lovelies are more attractive to me than the likes of the above.

I grew up in ATL so, living there, I could see why you think that. Women are not like that where I live now, in the remote Pacific Northwest. They are generally much more reserved and the culture as a whole out here is much less sexualized.

How does a Comoy Breaking In article become another way to talk about Marxman Pipes?

And... the gratuitous use of women as sex objects, ta, ta, ta...

In your mind, is this glamour shot representative of “women back then”?

Oddly, as someone who has many original photos of family members from way back then on the wall in my main hallway, it seems to be so. It was a look the women liked going for from the instagram of their day, movie posters.

Even though the title says "Comoy", I knew there would be something about Marxman or Algerian briar in this thread.

no one has time for doing their hair like that. Seriously it took hours a day or something.
