Now that would be cool to see!@didimauw
Lovely collection.
There is something about horn stems that resonates with me.
They hark back to an age when natural (as in “provided by Mother Nature”) materials were used extensively.
Sadly the only Ropp I have is one of their cherry woods.
Now if only that came with a horn stem
That’s a beautiful cutty!Here are my three:
An old cherry wood with a silver repair band and dual bore replacement stem,
A sandblast with a horn stem, and a cutty with a horn stem.

That last pipe is stunning. I think that if we didn't know the Ropp Vintage backstory, it could go for much more than what they actually cost!OK I think I have pics of all of them now, can get a group shot when I move.

I was looking for a J07 but I think @didimauw cleaned SP out of all their stock.FYI...
15% off all Ropp pipes at SP. Ends October 8th.
I noticed that too. The J22 might be a good alternative if you like the apple shape.I was looking for a J07 but I think @didimauw cleaned SP out of all their stock.
