Chacom Pipes (St Claude) Chacom is a family owned company who can trace their pipe making heritage to 1825 before Briar was even discovered. They are based in St Claude which is widely recognised as the pipe making capital of the world. They are one of very few pipe manufacturers who make pipes from start to finish. From ageing the Briar right through to hand finishing.
Chacom 180th Anniversary 2015 To commemorate 180 years of exquisite pipe making, Chacom have created their 180th Anniversary pipe and it is quite frankly an absolute stunner. A straight billiard shaped bowl with a natural stain that shows off the beautiful flame grain combined with a chunky 925 silver band and red cumberland stem with silver inlay makes for a very comfortable and perfectly balanced pipe which looks simply stunning.
Filter Choice The Chacom 180th 2015 pipes can be smoked with a condensing filter (included) or a 9mm absorbent filter. The larger diameter of a 9mm filter allows more smoke to pass through the filter, with less restriction, which makes for a better draw compared to the 6mm filters. The highly absorbent filters have a very high surface area resulting in excellent absorption of the tar as the smoke passes through without affecting draw or flavour. The pipes have a standard 9mm bore so can be used with any brand of 9mm filter if preferred. Alternatively the filter can be removed altogether for smokers who prefer a totally un-restricted full on smoke.
Limited series Reserved for the best smoking specialists of the world, all these pipes are numbered from 1 to 190
