Chacom Montmarte 43 Smooth Bent Billiard Estate Briar Pipe Unsmoked

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.

Named for a historic Parisian landmark, the Montmartre is one of the most traditional lines in Chacom’s current portfolio. Dressed in a light, matte brown finish, each Montmartre sports a silvery collar and is fitted with a distinctive, amber-toned acrylic mouthpiece, evoking the kinds of briars that the Chapuis-Comoy dynasty will have crafted nearly two centuries ago in Saint-Claude. This one is a classic bent billiard rendition, further leaning into that tradition, with a stout bowl covered in bird’s-eye grain at either flank.

This pipe is completely unsmoked.
