The ROPP Brand - Its History

The history of ROPP pipes began 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 very popular at the time.

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

Chapuis-Comoy & Cie took over the brand the same year, continuing the production of classic models while respecting tradition. Today, ROPP pipes are still appreciated for their vintage style and artisanal 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.
