Just to add to the praise: I have two Ropps, both current pipes, one a Vintage and the other a Vintage Superior, so they both have horn stems. They are fine pipes and I would happily buy another.

For people interested in readily available oversize pipes I would look at the Rossi Lucca series, I don't personally own an example of this model but if I were starting my collection over again I'd grab one of these for sure:
Cherry are cool pipes, briar Roops are great too.
Wow, I don’t think that’s from anytime in the last 40 years! Cool
I have two Ropp pipes. The cherry wood, was an estate pipe I got about 6 years ago, and has a silver repair band along with a replacement stem, a twin bore for some reason. The horn stem pipe is new and I just got about two weeks ago. Both smoke fine, but the horn stem pipe needs to be broken in a little more. No regrets on either.

My concern about the Ropps is that their bowls' walls are rather thin. With my cadence I'm afraid I'd burn my hand smoking one.
I've always wanted one of their horn-stemmed ones, but those are not in the "affordable" range.

I have several and they are one of the best values in pipes. Champ smokers, typically very lightweight, and if you look often enough and long enough you can even find some with pretty spectacular grain.
Holy crap! That is some amazing birds eye grain! Might know it would be in a cutty from you too.
Yeah man. Every once in while they drop a stunner. Just gotta watch the drops on SP every monday and thursday. Look at em all and eventually you’ll find one.
That’s certainly one reason. They’re also a reputable, storied brand and most of their stummels were turned three quarters a century ago, which is a draw for many. They’re also damn good, lightweight smokers that are easy on the eyes.
I love ROPP Pipes. I have over 40 and all are excelent smokers. Cheers! Congrats on yours. Looks like a Top Hat fit for a Gentleman.
Ropp and Genod are some of the absolute best values in the pipe world.
Although, be aware some of the horn stemmed Ropp pipes have an extremely narrow airway in the stem and may not fit most pipe cleaners.

I have a pair of the new Ropp pipes a little panel prince and a pencil shank Liverpool. Both are very decent smokers, especially at the price they go for. My prince stem split at the mortise because the tenon was way too tight but I was able to repair it myself. It's smoking well again.
That cutty is absolutely stunning! They do get some beauties!

The 2024 Ropp charity sale is still on. Made by Bruno Nuttens with old stummels from the Ropp factory : Bruno Nuttens ROPP charity sale 2024 - https://nuttenspipes.com/ropp-charity-sale-24.htm
I have seen a few of these before, but it never clicked that they were all Ropp pipes. Very cool and I can see myself going down a rabbit hole today.
