Facts, not a grade. We do not score a pipe out of ten: a number would rank a restored pipe above an honest one, and restoration is exactly what this hobby prices down. Every line above is checkable by anyone holding the pipe. Lines marked Faridunhill standing declaration rest on our published, dated statement of shop practice (v1.0, 2026-07-29) — not on an inspection of this individual pipe. It is one document, in public, that you can hold us to.
The entry
This Comoy's Guildhall London pipe represents the bent Dublin shape, numbered 412 in the manufacturer's catalog. The pipe exhibits the classic Dublin form with its conical bowl that flares upward from the base, combined with a gentle bend in the shank for comfortable smoking. The Guildhall line was one of Comoy's secondary series, offering quality pipes with the distinctive London pipe-making tradition. The stampings identify it as part of Comoy's established production, with the shape number providing specific model identification. As an estate pipe, it carries the patina of previous use while maintaining the structural integrity characteristic of English pipe craftsmanship. The bent Dublin shape provides both visual elegance and practical smoking qualities, with the upward-flaring bowl and angled stem creating a balanced smoking instrument.
