Comoy Blue Riband

Was high bidder but the RESERVE wasn't met. Contacted by the seller with a second chance offer, officially via eBay, to purchase at my high bid, which not very high, so I did! A Blue Riband....

"Beautiful pipe fish. I hate you so much..."

That about sums it up.

But in all sincerity, nice grab! Let us know how she cleans up!

I'm really psyched about this pipe as I have about 10 pipes packed away I cannot account for and a Blue Riband is among them although this is a much nicer looking one both in condition, grain and body style can't wait for it to arrive.

Fish what a lovely classic pipe, when I think of pipes that is what I envision.

You have a knack for finding the most beautiful pipes. That one's a stunner. Good luck with it.

Congrats FnB!
That's a beautiful, classic that's found a good home. "Never give up" should be our battle cry!

Great looking classic Fish, congrats. I will be interested to hear how you think it smokes.

Harris,

Somewhere in this house is a box with 10 pipes gone missing among them a Blue Riband Billiard I fondly remember as being a wonderful smoker albeit not in the fine shape of my latest find. I do smoke a Comoy, 3 piece logo Sandblast Pot, a 107, with a group 2 bowl frequently and it is one of my best little smokers.

fish, I have been watching Blue Ribands for a while now and have been thinking of grabbing one some day. I hear they smoke great and I do love their classic looks, thanks for the review on how they smoke.

After sanitizing and reaming the cake a bit I folded and stuffed one coin of Luxury Bullseye Flake, plus a little topping to even things out, into the Comoy Blue Riband I won on the bay last week. Elegance in shape and luxurious in smokability with no hint of a ghost from smokes past. Included with the pipe was the original Comoy red sock with yellow trim, it is stamped Made in London in a circle with England under it on the side the shape # 405 is stamped and Comoy's Blue Riband in two lines on the other side. It weighs just over 1 oz on my postal scale and smokes like a dream. The bowl is not canted it's due to the back being slightly less rounded and the angle the photo was taken at.

Congrats on a classic pipe. I've got a number of Blue Ribands, and, without exception, they are all wonderful smokers. There's something about that classic English cut, the provenance of the three part C, and the differential stain that keeps on drawing me back to Blue Ribands time and again.
