Francois Comoy and his brothers hailed from a small monastic town in eastern France called Saint-Claude. Originally working with box wood and beach, one son Louis found out about briar and it’s potential for being the best pipe making material. This was the beginning of their journey to become one of the most prominent pipe makers of their day in Europe.

In 1879 Francois’ son Henri moved to London with a small bag of tools. Setting up in today’s Cambridge Circus he was the pinnacle in the perpetuation of Briar Pipes and is credited with coining the appellation “London Made”. Comoys of London, known now for the stand out pipe tobaccos they sell and estate pipes that grace auction halls. Their range is smaller than many but contains a great calibre of mixtures. Expect nothing less than the finest tobaccos and toppings when purchasing a Comoys of London tobacco.
