England, 1950-70s

The Academy Award series was planned initially as a special gift for participants of the Oscar ceremony, as you can see even a logo on the mouthpiece is corresponding. However, many and many ordinary smokers were interested in these pipes, therefore Comoy’s started a mass production of The Academy Award series soon.
