This ROPP Stout pipe is a short (nosewarmer), straight pipe with soft, rounded lines in the "Tomato" shape.
With its matte brown finish, it completes its vintage look with a beautiful genuine horn stem.
This briarwood pipe is crafted in our workshops in Villard-Saint-Sauveur, at the gateway to Saint-Claude.
Short pipes are characterized by their compact size, making them much smaller than classic pipes.
Known as "brûle-gueules," they tend to produce a warmer smoke due to the shorter stem, giving a slightly stronger tobacco sensation.
The history of ROPP pipes began in 1869 in Baume-les-Dames (Doubs) with the founding of the company by Eugène-Léon Ropp. The brand quickly became known for its cherrywood pipes, which were very popular at the time.
In 1917, ROPP moved to Saint-Claude, in the Jura region, to focus on making briarwood pipes. Despite its success, the company closed its doors in 1991.
Chapuis-Comoy & Cie took over the brand the same year, continuing the production of classic models while respecting tradition. Today, ROPP pipes are still appreciated for their vintage style and artisanal craftsmanship.
