Comoy's NOS Pebble Grain Paneled Dublin

[rockymtnsmoker]

Back in November, Voorhees and I snagged sister pipes from sp.com. Both were unsmoked, pre-1980s Comoy's pebble grains. His was a volcano shape, mine was billed as a paneled Dublin shape 412.

I have had a chance to run a few bowls through now and can say that this is now one of my favourite pipes. Very little break in required with a dry smoke every time. The one little surprise when I first got the pipe was the removable metal condenser, which I have yet to use.
Not sure if this a common feature of Comoy's of the era or not. Also wondering how the sister pipe is smoking?

rocky, I have enjoyed my Volcano as well. All that time air curing works wonders on the pipes I guess. I have been burning mine with the tube. Saw no ill effect from it.

They actually advertised another volcano shortly after mine, I was so tempted to buy the twin.
This is the site pic if anyone wanted to see it again.

Both very nice pipes. I am glad you are both enjoying them. I want another Comoy myself.

Voorhees, for $80 and small change I feel like we got a great deal. Aside from the smoking properties, the pipes are beauts. The grain on both of them is awesome. Anyway, happy puffing. Might give mine a spin with tube as well.

Yes, $80 for a nearly 40 yr old pipe in NOS condition. I was so happy to get one. Glad to here that beauty you got is smoking well.

Wow, nice stuff guys. Love the look of those old comoys. Any stem oxidation issues?
