ROPP Stout

ROPP Stout Brown Matte - Zulu

The ROPP Stout Smooth Zulu is a vintage style  short pipe with a smooth brown stain with a "Zulu" shape, a genuine horn stem and a well-rounded bowl. You can easily recognize this popular shape thanks to the forward cant of its bowl, along with its straight shank and slightly bent stem. A smoker chooses this shape for its lightweight design and gentle bend, both contribute to the pipe’s easy smoking characteristics. 

Lighweight and short, this Ropp Stout is a convenient pipe to smoke while busy with other activities.

About Short Pipes

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 ROPP Brand - Its History

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.
