The ROPP Brand - Its History

The story of ROPP pipes begins in 1869 in Baume-les-Dames (Doubs), with the founding of the company by Eugène-Léon Ropp. The brand quickly became known for its cherrywood pipes, which were highly popular at the time.

In 1917, ROPP relocated to Saint-Claude in the Jura region to focus on the production of briarwood pipes. Despite its success, the company closed its doors in 1991.

That same year, the company Chapuis-Comoy & Cie took over the brand, continuing to produce its classic models while honoring its tradition. Today, ROPP pipes are still appreciated for their vintage style and artisanal craftsmanship.

 

The Chapuis-Comoy & Cie Factory

In 1825, the Comoy family was already manufacturing boxwood pipes, primarily for Napoleon’s soldiers. The business truly expanded in 1856 with the discovery of briarwood, an ideal material for pipe making, which helped establish Saint-Claude as the world capital of briarwood pipes.

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

Today, Chapuis-Comoy remains a reference in artisanal pipe making, blending traditional craftsmanship with modern innovation. The company is also recognized with the "Entreprise du Patrimoine Vivant" label, a mark of excellence awarded by the French State for its exceptional expertise.
