Browse our selection of Chacom tobacco pipes and you’ll understand why, from the first smoke. The Jura Mountains are notable for tobacco pipe history thanks to the town of Saint-Claude, which historians have noted is the birthplace of the briar pipe. The Chacom brand originated in Saint-Claude, France, in 1928. Each day, 20 employees (a team of diehards) still perpetuate a century-old know-how and give a modern touch to the briar pipes. Buy a Chacom pipe and you'll get a high quality French pipe made from real briar wood. The briar wood used in the Chacom brand is chosen amongst the finest burrs in the Mediterranean Basin. These pieces of rough hewed wood are then cut and oven dried. This initial preparation plays a very important part in creating the taste of the future pipe. Having been sorted, the pieces of wood are dried naturally during 6-month period on racks and are turned over regularly. Chacom’s range is growing every year with a touch of modernism and originality without ever losing its authenticity. Keep two of your favorite pipes, as well as some tobacco and tools, in this leather case from Chacom. Simple, sturdy, and in a palette that never goes out of style, it's a simple way to transport everything you need for a day on the town. This full grain leather tobacco pouch has a beautiful retro brown hue. After the Second World War, Chacom further developed and expanded exports to several countries around the world. CHACOM Pipes of the Year have been produced annually since 1978 in limited numbers (maximum of 1245 units). Each piece is crafted from selected blocks, meaning pieces of briar root harvested closest to the bark, where the wood is most veined. Each vintage presents a unique shape, available in multiple finishes. Each piece is numbered and presented in a CHACOM case accompanied by its fabric pouch and certificate of authenticity. Renowned French brand, Chacom has been a faithfull companion for several generations of pipe smokers all over the world. • Always use a cold and clean pipe (a clean pipe is the best way to enjoy the aroma of your tobacco!).

The factory was founded in Avignon, France in 1825, when the Comoy family started producing pipes there. Henry Comoy moved the production to London and from 1879 onward he used his family name as a brand for his briar pipes. The Jura Mountains are a mountain range that helps establish a large portion of the French and Swiss border. However, it is actually the mountain range that Chacom names these pipes after, fitting into the company's history of paying homage to French regions, culture, or history.
