COMOY’S Highgate

England

Herb Wilczak and Tom Colwell mentioned two manufacturers of Highgate pipes: L. Orlik Ltd and Comoy’s. However, if you look at the stampings, there is no doubt: this Serif font on Comoy pipes cannot be confused with any other.

The pipe looks like Comoy’s answer to some of the innovative American and English brands that were looking to provide better heat transfer on their pipes. The idea is similar to Kennett Air pipes, but even a little simpler: four vertical holes in an octagonal bowl. So, you have a great chance to own such a rarity and test whether the idea really works.
