Chacom is a brand of Cuty-Fort Entreprises (Jeantet, Vuillard, Jean Lacroix, Ropp …). I wrote Charles Lemon of Dad’s Pipes who is the go to guy for all things Brigham and asked him about the pipe. He said it was a shape he did not have and did not have on his shape chart. I thought about it overnight and sent it off to him on Monday morning. I look forward to his blog on this pipe as it is a really Danish looking Brigham.
Surely, if you have been smoking a pipe for a while you have no doubt reached the point where you want to try something that’s off the beaten path. So in this guide, the team at Paykoc Pipes will set our sights far afield in order to track down some of the rarest pipe tobaccos that are commercially available, somewhere. Antoine has made it his mission to significantly revise the design of the pipes and increase the quality without neglecting the roots and core business. So Chacom is still in demand today as a supplier for pre-turned bowls, mouthpieces and the execution of complete production processes. Several tens of thousands of pre-turned bowls from old brands that have been taken over are still stored in the factory. Every now and then a series with these bowls comes on the market and enjoys great popularity.
Step 1When a pipe has a heavy cake inside the bowl, I like to put it through a salt and alcohol treatment. This method does chacom tobacco pipes a great job at cleaning the pipe, softening the hardened cake making it easier to remove from the bowl. It also, freshens up the bowl and gets ride of any ghosting left from prior tobaccos smoked. In the blog itself he breaks his process down into two parts – cleaning the stem and cleaning the bowl.
Pipemaker Eric E. Christie has been hand making pipes for over three decades, learning his trade from one of America’s great pipemakers in the 1980’s, Richard C. Johnson. Mr. Johnson opened his own tobacco store, Johnson’s Pipe Shop, in Carlisle, Pennsylvania where he made his own line of handmade pipes, Johnson Pipes. The stems on both these pipes have large gaping hole near the button end, exposing the stem’s airway.
Yves Grenard (†2012), second cousin of Pierre Comoy headed the company from 1971. He was responsible for Chapuis Comoy’s recovering its independance from Comoy. His son Antoine Grenard took over the direction of the company in 2007.
