Is that a vulcanite stem?

Is that a vulcanite stem?

Yup! It's just very, very oxidized

 

[Tbaggins]

Still don’t think pictures do justice to the grain on these two sappy ol’ Algerians but I tried.

Nice find, brother.

My Etudiant J04 arrived about two weeks ago and I love it. Small, short, light, but the chamber is plenty large for my smoking.

I should have pulled the trigger while they were on sale.

 

[The Amish Tyrant]

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).

 

[Sobrbiker]

@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.

Heck yeah! Hope you love it as much as I do.

Well, here's my most recent, the 188.

 

[judcole]

A little 29C.

 

[judcole]

An Etudiant J21. This is the only Ropp I have that is not a Vintage - I really like the horn stems.

 

[judcole]

This is a 275, a Vintage Superior.

A little 29C.

I've been really tempted by these 29C pipes on SP. Nice pick!

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?

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.
