CHACOM Baccara Brillante No. 186 Briar Pipe, France

An elegant and timeless pipe made from sandblasted briar by the renowned French manufacturer Chacom Saint-Claude France. The simple and beautifully crafted Billiard shape is one of the most enduring classics in the world of pipe smoking. This particular example stands out with elegant polished aluminium fittings and a warm, satin-finished briar surface that gives the pipe a refined and timeless character. The Cross Grain briar further enhances its distinctive appearance.

The spacious chamber has been left in the natural colour of the briar and without a pre-carbonized coating. This preserves the natural beauty of the material, while requiring a little extra care during the first few smoking sessions as the cake is gradually built up.

The black acrylic stem, bearing the characteristic Chacom branding, is fitted with a practical reducer that allows the use of either a 9 mm filter or a 3 mm condenser. The pipe can also be smoked without any filter, offering flexibility to suit individual preferences.

The pipe comes with a fabric pouch and an elegant Chacom presentation box, finished with distinctive brown stitching. It makes an attractive complete set and an excellent gift for a lover of classic pipes.

Mr. Bróg and Chacom have shared a long-standing friendship, which is why we are particularly proud to recommend this exceptional model from the renowned French brand.

Chacom – France

The history of the brand dates back to the time of Napoleon, when the Comoy family began producing pipes for soldiers in a small village near Avignon. In 1879, Henri Comoy joined forces with his cousin Chapuis, beginning a joint production of briar pipes. Chapuis Comoy soon became one of the best-known pipe manufacturers.

In 1922, the two names were combined, and in 1928 the Chacom brand was officially established. To this day, its pipes are appreciated by enthusiasts around the world for their quality, classic design and distinctive French style.
