Selected Straight Grain (by Comoy’s) 5XL Smooth Bulldog Estate Briar Pipe, English Estates

Description

Comoy’s is a historic brand in pipe making, and possibly the most historic brand in the making of briar pipes. Though originally founded in 1825 by a French family from Saint Claude, France, production of Comoy’s pipes was soon moved to London, England, where it established itself as one of the quintessential English pipe companies.

Selected Straight Grain was a “seconds” make from Comoy’s, the historic English-French pipe manufacturer. Selected Straight Grains were made from stummels that were destined to be Comoy’s rare, high-grade Specimen Straight Grain pipes, but which were ultimately discovered to have a small imperfection. As such, the Selected Straight Grain could well be considered the most impressive “seconds” line ever made.

The condition is fair. Some inner rim charring, handling marks, and minor stem oxidation.
