COMOY’S David’s 1459

May 9, 2014February 5, 2019

England

When we looked for Comoy’s pipe recently in Internet we have discovered that many modern Comoys are produced in Denmark. That’s difficult to say something about their quality (same story is with a number of brands that has been moved there like Barling or Ben Wade) however their prices are suspiciously budgeted . Yet we still keep insisting that right Comoy’s pipes should be made in England.

Our today’s pipe is really an English one. Its shape number and overall conditions prove that it was made not earlier than in 1980s. So the pipe is relatively young and impresses with its expressive grain and golden-brown colour. Moreover the pipe was smoked perhaps once or twice: there’s still no carbonization in the bowl

The pipe markings are “СOMOY’S \ DAVID’S”, “1459”, “MADE \
IN \ LONDON \ ENGLAND” and “9R””. The length is 13.2 cm, bowl’s hight is 4.7 cm. External and internal diameters of the bowl are 3.0 cm and 1.9 cm. The depth is 3.0 cm and this pipe weights 31 gr. Briar, vulcanite stem, no filter.

England Smoking process -if it goes correctly – is slow and almost static. Therefore probably “the animal subject” in marking of pipes is very moderate and conservative. There’s of course such extreme shape as a “cobra” (very effectively implemented by Gasparini). There’s Falcon, there is a number of sparrows, roosters, geese and owls. You can…

England, 1930s An extremely rare finding! The Comoy’s pipe made in the 1930s and branded for one of the numberous tobacconists the most probably. You may compare the COM (MADE IN ENGLAND) and the shape number (331) to other Comoy’s pipes of that time to avoid any doubts.

England, 1980-90s The 1981 merger of Comoy’s and GBD into a single company under the management of the Oppenheimer Group (Cadogan) is viewed with mixed opinions. However, it’s hard to deny that the move spurred the introduction of new technologies and the creation of fresh, interesting series and shapes. One successful example is today’s Comoy’s…

The Guildhall London Pipe 164
June 20, 2013February 24, 2019
England, 1950-70s There was a legend about a white spot, which was made out of a whole elephant. That is why all pipes with the white spot are so expensive. Perhaps these three aluminium stripes on Guildhall pipes were made from German bombers which were shot-down over London. And as far as there were no…
