The Comoy family name is renowned for being the first to offer briar pipes and interpret classic shapes in a distinctive fashion. Although ownership may have changed, this tradition of shaping and briar as the best pipe-making material has persisted into modern-day pipe making. The Comoy's were not only a successful family business in England; they represented England's oldest and largest manufacturer of briar pipes.
