If you’re looking for a straightforward, no-nonsense pipe with a touch of classic French charm, the Chacom L’Essard 185 is a fine choice. Chacom, a legendary name in French pipe-making since 1825, continues to honour the rich traditions of Saint-Claude, where the craft has flourished for centuries. The L’Essard series embodies that proud heritage, offering timeless shapes with a bold black sandblast finish.
The straight billiard is the quintessential pipe shape, known for its balanced proportions, effortless draw, and comfortable grip. The deep sandblast finish brings out the natural grain of the briar, enhancing both the texture and the pipe’s ability to stay cool during longer smokes.
Paired with a sleek black acrylic fishtail stem, the L’Essard 185 ensures a smooth, even draw and a lightweight feel, making it a fantastic everyday smoker. If you appreciate classic lines, fine craftsmanship, and a pipe that gets better with time, this one’s a superb addition to any collection.
