Chacom pipes

mfresa

Anyone had one?  They seem to be reasonably priced and nicely shaped.  How do they smoke?

Woodsman

I only have one, it smokes quite well.

How does it handle aromatics?  This churchwarden is drowning me it gurgles so much.  I actually pulled it apart today and blew the water out of it half way through the bowl.  It was fine after that, but what a pain.  Is there any particular shape that works well with aromatics?

This is the only Chacom Pipe I own and am very happy with it. A very nice smoker and I like the marbleized finish.

Now correct me if I'm wrong but I believe that Chacom is also where they turn peterson and brebbia pipes.

mfresa

I thought Brebbia came out of Italy and Peterson from Ireland?

@ghostsofpompeii nice pipe.  Very elegant looking.

I have just one Chacom, a Turbo, a small pocket pipe. Call it a pipe for a short smoke, which leads to my opinion that it smoke quite well, has from the very first smoke.

Thanks guys, I will start looking for one in earnest.

Woodsman

Petersons were also made in London at one time.

Although it's not a small pipe, I'm leaning toward the Chacom Robusto 193, a beautiful thing indeed.

Mine is a Chacom Bordeaux which isn't that big.

@Woodsman do you smoke aromatics in it?

Woodsman

mfresa ;No, I use it for English Blends, I use my Boot pipe, GBD Virgin and my Falcons for all types.

@mfresa I exclusively smoke aromatics and the Chacom handles them like a champ.

Thanks for the advice guys, I really appreciate it.
