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.

COMOY’S Everyman 6

England, 1950-70s A pleasant representative of the very popular Comoy’s second line from the 1950-70s. Traditional English middle size billiard becomes an eye-catching, unusual and even a bit “freehandish” look with the newly made fancy acrylic stem.

England, 1930s The history of smoking pipes at the beginning of XX century in USA can be described as “revelry of a modernism and innovations”. Let’s make a completely new type of a stinger! No, let’s add an additional camera into the chamber! No, let’s drill an additional channel in the stem, so we could clean…

COMOY’S Grand Slam 97 Van Oosten
March 30, 2023March 30, 2023
England, 1950-70s The pipe belongs to one of the most popular and respected pre-Cadogan Comoy’s grades. This attractive billiard was made during the 1950-70s period (see the nomenclature and the 3-part (inlaid) “C” on the stem). An intersting (and rare!) detail: the pipe was made and marked for a tobacconist in the capital of Netherlands….

England, 1930s A rescued Comoy’s pipe from the late 1930s. The extremely popular Grand Slam series was started in the 1930s (according to the one of legends – in 1933, and it was named so in honor of success of a British tennis player) and was produced up to the 1970s. The patent system with…

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 5
August 10, 2013February 24, 2019
England, 1950-70s This is the sister of our represented below Guildhall’s apple. The same time, the same manufacturer, the same excellent quality of a briar, the same three shining aluminium stripes. We had a bit more efforts for the mouthpiece restoration and the repair point is slightly remarcable. Therefore our generall score will be, say,…
