Chacom

The two managers of the Cuty Fort Enterprises group of which Chacom, the most important company of the group, is part, together represent thirteen generations in the history of the pipe: Dominique Jeantet is part of the eighth and Yves Granard, the fifth generation of the family. The family Chamoy produced pipes made from boxwood as far back as 1825 in Avignon. Henry Comoy introduced the surname as a brand to distinguish his briar pipes in 1879 and in 1922 he joined his nephews Louis and Charles Chapuis. In the following years several movements of the production center took place between London and Saint-Claude, multiple transfers of ownership and numerous mergers which led to frequent name changes. “La Bruyère” was in any case one of the best-known brands. Comoy's of London now belongs to the Cadogan group while Yves Grenard, descendant of the Comoy family, has taken over the management of Chacom. This company name derives from the merger of the names Chapuis and Comoy. In order to maintain its presence on the pipe market despite the looming crisis , in 1987 the companies Chacom, Jeantet, Lacroix, Ropp and Vuillard united under the name Cuty Fort Enterprises. The company still employs 46 people today. Approximately half of the 185,000 pipes produced annually are placed on the market bearing the Chacom brand. Their design is by Yves Grenard and the freehand artist Pierre Morel. The philosophy of the house is to be able to satisfy every customer request, be it a modern "Fancy" pipe, the desire to purchase a solid pipe for daily use or a fine pipe with a delicate grain and gold band. In the laboratories of the Cuty Fort Enterprises group they not only produce pipes with their own brand, but also pipes commissioned by many American companies including, for example, Davidoff. Chacom dries the briar logs in the traditional way by placing them on wooden racks for at least six months so that the natural air circulation deprives them of humidity. The company supplies itself with a sufficiently large supply of stumps to allow it to produce pipe for at least two years.
