The bowl is very dirty with little room in the bowl – thick cake and lots of overflow on to the back side of the rim.I reamed the bowl with reamers.

Chacom are one of the most historically important pipe makers still in business today. As early as 1825 the Comoy family was producing smoking pipes from Boxwood, long before the discovery of Briar wood. Henry Chacom is born in 1850, just 6 years before the discovery of briar and St Claude becoming the home and centre of the briar pipe world. While in a Swiss prisoner of war camp (1870) Henry meets up with his cousins (the Chapius family) and the plan to open a pipe factory if and when they are released.
Antoine GRENARD, managing director, is the 6th generation in charge of this family-owned company. Perhaps the long stems of their churchwardens are more to your liking? You could always select the Jurrasic line, with classic shapes that have an ashen color to them, as if they were carved and shaped from a dinosaur itself.
