Chacom Inspire Pipe and Briar Pen Set, Estate Briar Pipe, Unsmoked [SOLD OUT]

Description

Chacom is one of France’s most historic and iconic makes. Its founders, the Comoy family, began their career as boxwood pipe-makers in the early 1800s, before briar had even been discovered, with Henri Comoy (of Comoy’s fame) emigrating to England in 1879 and founding the country’s first briar pipe factory. In 1922, Henri and his nephews, the Chapuis, founded the Chapuis Comoy pipe factory in Saint-Claude, France, which shortly after began producing pipes bearing the partnered families’ names – ‘Cha’ for Chapuis, and ‘Com’ for Comoy. Chacom has been the biggest name in French pipes ever since.

This has to be one of my favorite things to have ever been on my desk at MBSD: a matching set of a pipe and a fpen, both made from briar (perhaps even the same block). It’s the kind of thing I would absolutely love to be gifted, and the kind of thing I’d be likely to gift someone on a special occasion, such as a wedding or a graduation. Chacom hasn’t skimped on the quality of the set either; the pipe is a beautiful, traditional, bent billiard with a brass collar; while the pen is a genuine fountain pen with its own brass band. Both have a briar body, dressed in an amber red stain. The pipe is chambered for 9mm filters, but Chacom has included their own adapter for smoking without one, if that’s your preference.

The coolest part? The set is completely unused. The pipe is unsmoked and the pen has not yet been put to page. These first voyages will be for the new owner to embark upon with them. The pipe and pen also come with their original presentation box.
