Show off Your Ropp Pipes here!
Below is another Eugène-Léon Ropp Cherry pipe with natural horn stem stamped “Bussang,” from Ropp’s original workshop there between 1870–1893 that you would not have seen from me (it’s unsmoked, so would not have been posted in a WAYS thread). It has an intricate ”Oriental” carved dragon motif...- TheIronMonkey

Falcon Pipes
One of the fun things about Falcon pipes is that you can purchase just one stem and use it with multiple bowls—it’s great for someone on a budget. Perhaps, it’s because of laziness, or I just like having complete pipes, I usually pair one bowl with one stem and create one whole new pipe.- TheIronMonkey

The 1000th Question About Why Folks Spend on a Dunhill
Why does anything have “value”? Gold and diamonds are just stuff that comes out of the ground, not all that different than common pebbles, but people ascribe value to the first two because of scarcity and perceived beauty; people agree upon societal constructs and work with them and generally...- TheIronMonkey

A Question About Tall Bowls, Help Wanted
*Correction: All three of these pipes have approximately a 2.75" chamber depth ... This error has been bugging me and it was too late to edit. I thought I would add that with these deeper chambers, I sometimes stir up the ash and tip the pipe (to get rid of the ash to get better airflow for...- TheIronMonkey

A Question About Tall Bowls, Help Wanted
I have gravitated towards larger and larger pipes in recent years, mainly because of my Mixed Martial Arts TV viewing. UFC events usually run close to six hours, followed by a post show that I watch right afterwards. KOs can happen in an instant, so I don’t want to be looking away from the...- TheIronMonkey

Total: $10.78 US (free shipping).
