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).

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.
