Chacom has a very long history that goes back to the beginning of the nineteenth century, the time when no more bryar pipes were made. The name Chacom is a derivative of the company name Chapuis, Comoy & Cie. Indeed, the current English Comoy and French Chacom a large family business originated in the region of Saint Claude.
Most notably was Pierre Morel who had initially worked on the Chacom Gran Cru, Naja and Fluer de Bruyere handmade ranges and eventually became the companies head pipe maker. Still to this day Chacom are known for their traditional manufacturing techniques, with a very contempory look and feel them. After the “Great War” the St Claude factory is renamed is “CHAPUIS COMOY & Cie”. Following the death of Henri in 1924, the company (London & St Claude factories) is taken over by Paul & Adrian Comoy with help from Emile & Louis Chapius. By 1928 the London Chacom factory had begun completely making pipes in London and the supplies from St Claude were no longer required. Rather than closing the original factory the company was renamed Comoy (a combination of both names) in 1928.

As you can see from the picture the pipe is heavily oxidized with little to no chatter marks. Overall the bowl was in great condition with a small white mark on the bottom of the bowl (I think it was glue). Seeing a dirty and damaged pipe come back to life makes me extremely happy. That happiness comes from fact that I am handling something that is old and has a long history. Sometimes I ask to myself how the previous pipe smoker could smoke them.
It was not as easy as it seemed because when I began the process, as I sanded down the stem, I observed that the filling crumbled and dislodged from hole. Next, I cleaned the surface of the stem with isopropyl alcohol to get rid of all the dirt, oils and tars from the surface. I also had the internals of the stem thoroughly cleaned using pipe cleaners, cue tips and alcohol.
