Three New Additions: 2 Ropp and 1 No Name

All three pipes are pretty unique. The Ropp Vintage is a horn stem that is a pleasure to clench. I couldn’t find anywhere else that sells it in the Author shape.
second pipe is a Ropp Cherry wood that is literally a branch from a cherry tree and is a 1 piece. Even the stem is made of wood and is fixed.
Third pipe is a cutty or belge shape ? Im not sure. Seller says it’s dated to be made during WWII, is french briar, with English Sterling Silver.
Hope these new additions have caught your eye. It definitely caught mine! Thanks for viewing them.

Love all three. I'd call the third a belge given its lack of a heel spur but the names are often interchanged.
Great pipes! I’m glad you hear you like clench that Ropp. I’ve clenched one and found it uncomfortably narrow.
The Ropp is sweat and the others are awesome too.
Ropp pipes have always appealed to me but never pulled the trigger. That stem looks great too.
nice pipes. I haven't had a cherry wood pipe in a long time. I always kind of enjoyed the way they smoke with some tobaccos and also the very rustic look of them.
This author is probably the widest diameter stem I have from Ropp. The others are pretty small and flat, which I actually prefer! To each their own. Sorry you didn’t enjoy their stems as much as I do
The Ropp was a pipe I bought for a friend and just tried when he was smoking it. He seemed to enjoy it =DThis author is probably the widest diameter stem I have from Ropp. The others are pretty small and flat, which I actually prefer! To each their own.

Really like that author, bet it feels nice in the hand, and great birdseye that first photo. Hope you got some churchwarden cleaners for those other two! Let us/me know how the horn stem performs. I've heard they can get soft after awhile, but horn was the plastic of its day so I've always been curious.
Great looking pipes.
I particularly like to silver-banded belge and the Ropp cherry wood horn, which is a Ropp I have not seen before.
I loved smoking aromatics in a Ropp Cherry wood I had. I gifted it because it was too small.
I love the look of horn stems. The thickness of the bit doesn't bother me as I use rubber/silicon bits with all my pipes (I don't like teeth marks on my stems)

I can definitely see the horn stem getting soft or wearing down quicker over time. That softness, the way it “grabs” onto your teeth, is kinda why I like horn material in the first place! Meet me in a year, and I’ll let you know how much damage i’ve done to my poor Ropps haha
Always wanted one of those horn-stemmed Ropps. Too bad I can't splurge on pipes now.
Ropps are pretty affordable, but yea. We all would be financially better off with less pipes?
Thank you! It’s one of my favorites right now. I got it on Etsy for only $75! Most pencil shank pipes are $100+
