Love for older Comoy's pipes

[JimInks]

I have a bunch of Comoy's firsts and seconds. Most of them are pre-1960 and some go back to the 1920s. All of them are well made and smoke great.

I've moved a number of mine. One that I've never been able to aquire - a Blue Riband, still eludes me.

Beautiful grain on that blast.

Satina on the left. Grand Slam on the right. These are smaller stature pipes without being too small. Love em.

Here are two 1919's (acquired separately) that I kind of wish I had kept. They each were part of bundles that included old Petersons. One is a twin-bore (I don't remember which).

I have a little bulldog that I got from @RustiePyles CPG, and it is a super little pipe.

Here's my only 'Cecil' - my grandfather's birthyear (1910), and also his first name:

Please put those in the ongoing "Show us your Comoy's" thread - those are magnificent.

Here's my Grand Slam billiard. Smaller than most of the Grand Slam line at about 5.3 inches. I love this pipe. I love Comoy's, they have a unique draw that is wonderful. You know what I'm talking about. 😉

I've never encountered either of those shapes for sale, so I grabbed this homage created by Kyriazanos.

And on the subject of a modern homage to a classic Comoy shape is the Vollmer & Nilsson take on the Quebec done a decade ago as the P4P POY:



I love mine.

Fantastic shape, I've never seen this POY (what is P4P?)

As I recall Neill did four annual POYs for his blog, all beautiful pipes: two by Jack Howell (successively based on the Comoy 283 and 284), one by Rad Davis (an author designated the Churchill), and the Vollmer & Nilsson Comoy Quebec shown above.
