Description from the seller
Pipa Chacom Verlaine – Hand Cut – Shape 873
Brand history
The Chacom brand is one of the most historic producers of French pipes. It was founded in 1825 in the village of Saint-Claude, in the Jura, considered the world capital of the pipe.
The name Chacom derives from the fusion of the surnames of the founding families:
Henri Comoy
Chapuis
During the 20th century the manufacture became one of the most important in Europe, producing both industrial-quality pipes and semi-handcrafted and handcrafted lines.
Verlaine Series
The Verlaine series is a line of elegant pipes dedicated to the French poet Paul Verlaine.
Main characteristics of the series:
selected cross grain burl with beautiful flame
glossy reddish-brown finish
shiny black vulcanite mouthpiece
CC mark on the mouthpiece (Chacom logo)
careful workmanship with a well-calibrated bore
The inscription HAND CUT indicates that the mouthpiece has been finished by hand, a typical feature of Chacom’s mid-to-upper-range lines.
