Product Description
Francois Comoy and his brothers started making clay pipes in 1825 in the small monastic town of Saint-Claude in eastern France. Francois and his son Louis discovered that briar had vastly superior qualities and from 1848 made pipes only in this wood.
In 1879 Francois’s son Henri, who was born in 1850, moved to London with a small bag of tools, but a great deal of experience. Henri set up a small factory in Seven Dials which is today known as Cambridge Circus. He was one of the prime movers in the establishment of the briar pipe trade in London.
Nowadays, Comoy’s pipes are made in France, and – along with brands like Chacom and Butz-Choquin – are the most popular pipe manufacturers from that country. Unlike some other pipe brands that we carry (eg, Vauen, Savinelli), Comoy’s offers more traditional shapes, sizes, and colour schemes.
