Chacom Pipes (St Claude) Chacom is a family owned company who can trace their pipe making heritage to 1825 before Briar was even discovered. They are based in St Claude which is widely recognised as the pipe making capital of the world. They are one of very few pipe manufacturers who make pipes from start to finish. From ageing the Briar right through to hand finishing.
Chacom Maigret 9mm Pipes The Maigret is a limited edition of pipes from Chacom, named after the famous pipe smoking detective made famous by Michael Gambon. The Maigret is characterised by its generous billiard bowl and flat base that lets it stand on its own. This sandblasted version has a light brown stain and non carbonised bowl, The pipe comes fitted with a wide silver coloured band and a short tapered vulcanite stem. Fitted with a removable stinger that can be replaced with a 9mm filter.
Filter Choice The Chacom Maigret pipes can be smoked with a condensing filter (included) or a 9mm absorbent filter. The larger diameter of a 9mm filter allows more smoke to pass through the filter, with less restriction, which makes for a better draw compared to the 6mm filters. The highly absorbent filters have a very high surface area resulting in excellent absorption of the tar as the smoke passes through without affecting draw or flavour. The pipes have a standard 9mm bore so can be used with any brand of 9mm filter if preferred. Alternatively the filter can be removed altogether for smokers who prefer a totally un-restricted full on smoke.
