Still don’t think pictures do justice to the grain on these two sappy ol’ Algerians but I tried.
Anyone have a heritage 355 (oom paul)?
I've been eyeing one for awhile as an everyday deep chambered briar pipe (instead of a house or pub pipe).

@ThermionicScott, I dropped by SPcom to see if they still had any J04’s-they had two after the sale.
Now they have one.
They dangled a”bronze vip” discount in from of me so I struck.
I doubt the pile of old Chacom stummels will last forever.

An Etudiant J21. This is the only Ropp I have that is not a Vintage - I really like the horn stems.
I've been really tempted by these 29C pipes on SP. Nice pick!A little 29C.
It's a nice smoking pipe - but I find that all the Ropps are.
Most of you have seen the various Cherrywood Eugène-Léon Ropp pipes with natural horn stems that I smoke in the WAYS threads; they’re all stamped “Bussang,” which means they were very likely made at Ropp’s original workshop there between 1870–1893. Below is a Ropp you would not have seen in any WAYS thread—it is also from the Bussang workshop, but one of Ropp’s Wheelbarrow designs, where the stummel is designed to look like a mound of dirt being carted in a wheelbarrow. This unsmoked example has an amber stem and is about 8.5" in length (one of my smaller Ropps).
This is absolutely wonderful!
Here's the last one, and my first Ropp. a Vintage K77 that I really like.
A question for the horn guys: how do the buttons hold up in the long run for clenchers?
I like horn for clenching. The narrow shape allows the stem to fit perfectly in my premolars almost straight out the front of my mouth. I clench the stem, I don’t hang the pipe. Horn is soft and it feels good but it leaves tooth marks the way I clench. I don’t worry about tooth marks. The button is holding up perfectly, no tooth marks.
