I just couldn't get around to liking this pipe, but I knew it was more my brother-in-law's style, and convinced him to trade his 563M Royal Guard...
Correction, after more research, I now believe it's not a Comoy. I think it's a 1950's-1960's era Chacom pipe, marked for export. Still a high...

Here in the U.S., we pretty much have to settle for the stainless (rolls imperial no. 3) package option, which is the leather covered wood case...
