The ROPP Brand - Its History

The story of ROPP pipes dates back to the late 19th century in the Vosges region, in Bussang, where Eugène-Léon Ropp founded the company. It later expanded to Baume-les-Dames, in the Doubs region.

In 1991, after the closure of the original site, the company Chapuis-Comoy & Cie, based in Saint-Claude in the Jura, acquired the brand. This acquisition ensured the preservation and continuation of the production of classic models, adhering to artisanal traditions.

Today, ROPP pipes are still cherished for their vintage style and exceptional craftsmanship.

The CHAPUIS-COMOY & Cie Company

In 1825, the Comoy family was already crafting boxwood pipes, primarily for Napoleon's soldiers. The company truly flourished in 1856 with the discovery of briarwood, an ideal material for pipe-making, which propelled the town of Saint-Claude to become the global capital of briar pipes.

In 1922, a partnership between the Comoy family and their cousins, the Chapuis family, gave birth to Chapuis-Comoy & Cie, strengthening their presence both in France and London. After World War II, the CHACOM brand was established in 1945 and quickly became a leader in European markets.

Today, Chapuis-Comoy remains a benchmark in artisanal pipe-making, blending traditional expertise with modern innovation. The company has also been recognized as a "Entreprise du Patimoine vivant" (Living Heritage Company) a prestigious label awarded by the French State for exceptional craftsmanship.
