COMOY’S Facet 12

August 7, 2025August 7, 2025

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 Facet — featuring a striking four-sided bowl, vivid grain pattern, and a stylish modern acrylic mouthpiece. A pleasing piece of work.

Pipe markings “COMOY'(S) \ FACET”, “MADE \ IN \ LODON \ ENGLAND”, “12”
Length 14.1 cm (5.55″)
Bowl Height 5.6 cm (2.2″)

The pipe is not for sale. It was restored to order and has already started a new life in a new cozy home.

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…

England, 1950-70s This is a classic pipe indeed! Elegant, easy, almost not smoked Comoy’s bent from 1950s. The wood is healthy and singing, the grain is wonderful, the chamber is in an excellent condition, the stem is without any damages or issues. We only needed to polish and wax a bit to make it shining…

England, 1950-70s “Made of the finest briar root obtainable, this natural finish pipe develops a magnificent character and its tan deepens in service”. So the London Pride pipes were described in the old Comoy’s catalogues where this grade was next to the highest – legendary and blazing Blue Riband. London pride pipes are undoubtedly a…

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 Comoy’s freehand pipes are a rarity, we are not sure if there were many sophisticated shapes introduced during the company’s full history but since 1980’s new management launched the Comoy’s designer series – a row of very interesting and collectable artizans models.

COMOY’S H.T.L. Hiland’s Fine Grain 184
May 4, 2019May 4, 2019
England Authoritative pipe community members advised that H.T.L. stands for Hiland’s Tobacco Locker, a southern California retail tobacco chain. Pipes have been ordered from leading Europian manufacturers such as Savinelli, Comoy’s and GBD. That explains also why some of HTL pipes are stamped “Made in Italy”, while the majority of them has the nomenclature “Made…
