Comoy’s Pipes Francois Comoy and his brothers started making clay, boxwood and beech pipes in 1825 in the small monastic town of Saint-Claude in eastern France. Claude 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 and is credited with being the author of the appellation “London Made”.

Comoy’s Facet Deluxe Made in one of the original Comoy’s factories in London, this Comoy’s Facet Deluxe 4045 is a straight, flat bottomed panelled Billiard that sits lovely in the hand. The generously thick walls will ensure a cool smoke. The squashed diamond shank transitions into a nice wide mouthpiece through a gold-coloured band and the Comoys logo on the side.
