Claude and his son Louis discovered that briar had vastly superior qualities and from 1848 made pipes only in this wood. In 1879 Francois’s son Henri, who was born in 1850, moved to '''London''' with a small bag of tools, but a great deal of experience. Henri set up a small factory in '''Seven Dials''' which is today known as '''Cambridge Circus'''. He was one of the prime movers in the establishment of the briar pipe trade in London and is credited with being the author of the appellation '''“London Made”'''. | [[Image:Comoy 1904.gif|right|thumb|250px|1904 Comoy's]][[Image:Comoy 1902.gif|left|thumb|250px|1902 Comoy's]]'''Francois Comoy''' and his brothers started making pipes (probably clays, boxwood and beech) in 1825 in the small monastic town of '''Saint-Claude''' in eastern '''France'''.
