The ROPP Brand - Its History

The history 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.

CHAPUIS-COMOY & Cie Factory

As early as 1825, the Comoy family was already making boxwood pipes, primarily for Napoleon's soldiers. The company truly took off in 1856 with the discovery of briarwood, an ideal material for pipe making, which propelled the city of Saint-Claude to become the world 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 created in 1945 and quickly became a leader in European markets.

Today, Chapuis-Comoy remains a reference in artisanal pipe making, combining traditional craftsmanship with modern innovation. The company is also recognized as a "Living Heritage Company," a label of excellence awarded by the French State for its exceptional know-how.
