Love my Ropp cutty with horn stem. Short smoke in a long pipe. Quite comfortable in the hand and the horn really jives with the aesthetic of the classic cutty. Highly recommend.
Horn Stems

I love the look of horn but my one experience of it (a Ropp stout) wasn’t great but that’s because the bite zone was thick and narrow. I can imagine it would be just fine if were wider but I would also worry about how it would hold up to long term clenching.
I like how the clench of horn has a spring to it, it feels different from the usual suspects.
Kai does great stemwork, including horn.
For a Danish artisan with a lifetime of experience, you'd be hard pressed to find a better deal than something like this
I’ve got the top one in my cart on SP just waiting on trying out the Ropps first.
Now is the time with 15% off over at SP, saves you $70.xx on that oneI’ve got the top one in my cart on SP just waiting on trying out the Ropps first.
Lol, I know. I’m keeping finger crossed it’s there next month. I’ve had to set a budget, as this new found addiction is getting a bit out of hand. After this weekend I should have enough tobacco to last me several whiles.
And hopefully find some new favorites. I also ended up with new meers as well. So strange.
I ordered 2 Ropp’s today. One Estate and one not. Both horn stems just to give them a go. Looking forward to trying horn. I’m a big fan of vulcanite so horn might be right up my alley.
I really like them! I wish the stems were a touch wider at the tip, just a different clench than my everyday. I’m getting used to that though. The material itself I like!
^ Good good.
You picked some nice examples- long and lean, and short and squat. It's real hard to say which I admire more.
