Selected Straight Grain (Comoy’s) Smooth Liverpool Estate Briar Pipe, English Estates

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 (which was typically covered by a small fill). As such, the Selected Straight Grain could well be considered one of the most impressive “seconds” lines ever made.

The condition is very good. Minor inner rim darkening, slightly faded nomenclature, and some handling marks.
