A hand rolling tobacco pouch in black genuine leather, suitable for a “roll your own” or pipe smoker. Chacom are one of the most historically important pipe makers still in business today. As early as 1825 the Comoy family was producing smoking pipes from Boxwood, long before the discovery of Briar wood.
After the Second World War, Chacom further developed and expanded exports to several countries around the world. An original and well-balanced half-bent pipe with a modern carbon fiber finish. A beautiful straight pipe with a “billard” shape and a waxed brown finish. Browse our selection of and you’ll understand why, from the first smoke. This makes the Chacom brand an excellent source of smoking pipes for collectors, who can easily fill up an entire pipe stand with just various members of the Chacom line-up. Each day, 20 employees (a team of diehards) still perpetuate a century-old know-how and give a modern touch to the briar pipes.
Since the beginning of my journey into the beautiful and challenging world of pipe refurnishing, I am being faced with problem relating to glue. Maybe the hot temperate climate prevalent here is causing issues or the quality of glue itself is an issue. However notwithstanding the issues of glue, I was able to prepare a mixture of CA superglue and activated charcoal and applied it to the surface. I set it aside to cure overnight.I began by sanding the repaired/ filled areas using a flat needle head. It was not as easy as it seemed because when I began the process, as I sanded down the stem, I observed that the filling crumbled and dislodged from hole.
I know because I have watched him do the work and I have seen the pipes after his work on them. He followed this process step by step and when the pipe got to me it was spotlessly clean and ready for my work. The inside of the stem, shank and bowl were clean and to me that is an amazing gift as it means that my work on this end is with a clean pipe! I cannot tell you how much difference that makes for my work. A hand rolling tobacco pouch in beige canvas and supple tan leather with a retro style.

I usually leave this treatment in the bowl overnight.Step 2I prefer to use my old trusty friend (pocket knife) to clean the cake from the bowl. Alcohol also does a great job at removing tar from the bowl rim. I use these foam padded Micro-Mesh pads to bring out the best finish on the briar wood. Step 5Two of my favourite household products that do a fantastic job at cleaning pipe stems are OxiClean and Vim. Soak the stem in an OxiClean bath for about an hour maybe two hours. It will depend on how oxidized the pipe stem is, a heavy oxidized stem, leave in the solution for longer.
However, it is actually the mountain range that Chacom names these pipes after, fitting into the company’s history of paying homage to French regions, culture, or history. Made of briar, Chacom pipes follow rigorous manufacturing steps, which ensure them an optimal quality. It is on this concern for a job well done that the reputation of Chacom pipes has been built among pipe lovers.
