Chacom Rustic 1201 Rusticated Billiard Estate Briar Pipe, Unsmoked

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.

Chacom’s Rustic is one of the make’s simplest and most straightforward lines. It combines high-quality rusticated briar, an easy to clean acrylic mouthpiece, and a metal army mount, to create an easy-going—though no less good looking—workhorse pipe. The shapes the Rustic is offered in are similarly practically inclined, with a focus on larger renditions of traditional shapes. This one is a classic billiard, for example, scaled up so that it has plenty of muscle and a good, deep chamber.

This pipe is completely unsmoked, with an original bowl coating. It comes with its original box. The pipe includes a removable stinger that can be screwed in or out depending on the user’s preference.
