BEWLAY Popular 01

England

What’s good about English tobacconists is the possibility to get a pipe of a great brand for very democratic price in theirs shops. On the other hand it’s sometimes quite hard to say who actually made a specific pipe.

As an example here’s an excellent canadian Bewlay pipe. The Bewlay house was supplied by Charatan, Barling and Loewe. In our opinion it could be a product of Charatan or Barling (judging from the shape and the stem’s specifics). Even eminent gurus are unable to say more. So our opinions are dispersed 50 / 50.

However this aura of riddle makes the pipe even more attractive. And don’t forget its magnificent grain and very small weight! Undoubtedly recommended!

The pipe markings are “Bewlay \ POPULAR”, “LONDON MADE 0\ 01”. The length is 14.0 cm, bowl’s hight is 4.2 cm. External and internal diameters of the bowl are 2.7 cm and 2.0 cm. The depth is 3.6 cm and this pipe weights 21 gr. Briar, vulcanite stem.

England, 1950-70s Perhaps no other manufacturer did make more for the “canadians” development and propaganda than Comoy’s. Careful selection of briar, variety of thoughtful refined shapes, skilful work deserved the highest respect among smokers worldwide. As an example – our today’s 296th shape.

COMOY’S Astor 309 XXL
November 26, 2015January 27, 2019
England, 1950-70s This Comoy’s series was named most probably in honour of the famous Astors family known for its prominence in business, society, and politics in the United States and the United Kingdom during the 19th and 20th centuries. The 309 shape is very popular between pipe colectors and recognized as on the of the…

England, 1950-70s An amazing Comoy’s product made during the last pre-Cadogan period (1950-70’s).

CHACOM Lupenrein 309
December 9, 2022December 9, 2022
France “Lupenrein” is a German word meaning “flawless”, “perfect”, “clean” (f.e. “clean diamond”) and we really couldn’t identify any issues with briar. Also interesting that the number 309 for such canadian shape pipes was widely used by Comoy’s during its best times and we suspect even refined experts couldn’t distinguish the pipe and English made…
