Chacom L'Essard 268 Pipe

The Chacom L’Essard 268  Pipe is a superb example of French briar craftsmanship from the stalwart house of Chacom, rooted in Saint-Claude’s pipe-making heritage. The smooth, sand-blasted “L’Essard” finish brings out the briar’s warmth and grain, creating a bold, textured aesthetic with a modern edge.

Its elegant bent apple shape (shape 268) offers a comfortable pull and balanced weight, with approximately 130 mm length and a 19–20 mm chamber bore,  ideal for a relaxed session that emphasises flavour and form. The bowl depth and smooth draw provide both substance and finesse.

Crafted with care, the L’Essard 268 features a black acrylic fishtail stem, and comes gift-boxed with cloth bag, making it suitable both for regular rotation and as a distinguished gift.

If you’re a pipe smoker who appreciates refined materials, balanced proportions and a distinct look, the Chacom L’Essard 268 is a solid addition to any collection. It combines performance, visual appeal and heritage in one compelling piece.
