If you had to reserve a type of blend for this pipe would it be vaper, english, or aromatic? Another question, If you had to reserve it for one specific blend what would it be?

Ropp huh..I like the look of the horn stem.
My first impression is ribbon cut English blends. I'd put SPC Potlatch in there.

Well, I had my eye set on one of these Ropp's for a while.. I guess it'd be perfect for a flake.. Something rich and dark either Latakia flakes or VA flakes
Thanks everyone. Question though. What about the white stem. Can I expect it to get dirty nasty as time goes by? Should I instead keep with a black stem? How do these white stems age? Should I expect it to be yellow in five years?
I'd definitely recommend an English blend. The walls look very thin and English blends tend to burn cooler. I have a pipe with very thin walls and it got a very small burn mark through the walls on the outside when I smoked a VA in it for the first smoke. Since then I've smoked only English blends in it and no problems.
I would agree with the Irish Flake suggestion, or at least another Burley forward flake.
Regarding the stem, I would definitely go for the white because it's the contrast that makes the pipe. Besides, even if it discolors a bit it would still contrast well.
Since its a Cutty (Yachtsman) pipe, nothing other than a Navy Flake or ropes/twists, in keeping with the style.
