Smoked my Gefapip Signature 106 pipe today. I forgot how easily this pipe smokes; the draw is effortless. I love the bowl’s beautiful grain and unique color and marbling of its stem. I purchased it as an estate pipe and can’t recall how much I paid for it, but I’m sure glad I picked it up and added it to my collection. This is my only Gefapip pipe and I can’t say I’ve seen another.

I have had 2 Chacom pipes over the years. The only pipe i ever regret selling was a Chacom with a horn stem. It was a great smoker, but went to a friend at the pipe lounge long ago. Here's the one i still have and has survived many cullings of the heard over the years. Something about it's simple elegance, hand feel and the fact that it smokes VaPers like a champ just does it for me.
First time seeing this thread. I don’t really collect French pipes but have a few pics on my phone for the WAYS thread.
First the Chacom commemorative D-Day 80th Anniversary Army mount. 75 of 80. Nice pipe, smokes good.
A guy was selling a pair of French Army pipes on eBay. First had the name of an Army base with 1893. I got the second which has unit designation and Artillerie. I assume it’s contemporary to the one I didn’t get. Hard rubber stem with a bone tenon and spoon attached. It’s a well pipe. It has a stamp I can’t read. The font is odd and I assume it’s a French name. Smokes good, cool pipe.

I got a day off ,and about to fixing a blower motor resistor in my Ford, must a be a real fun especially in the heat of the day,but prior to that I gotta have something strong, a small bowl of S Gawith 1792 Flakes in my Lithe Jeantet Bruyer Distinction model 701, 
I picked this up from a local antique shop for $20 and restored it. No markings on it other than "FRANCE". It has a moisture well behind the draft hole similar to a Peterson System pipe. Smokes great and has a deep chamber too that gives me a nice long smoke!
A Chacom restored from oblivion. I wish I had a before picture. I had to top away about 4 mm it had been beaten so bad on someones shoes. It was just a dark brown filthy mess. I tookt it back to wood and stained it last night. No amazing grain but a pretty little military mount pipe that smokes great.
