Another huge recommendation for Ropp. I have several, and all are great pipes, from 1930 onwards. I never expected to like this little bulldog as much as I do, though, but it has utterly charmed me.
These Ropp Vintage pipes are such a great value, esp. if you get lucky and pick out a nice one where you can actually see that they used some vintage wood. If you love horn, here’s a great one.
