The ROPP Stout Sandblasted Bulldog pipe is a short (nosewarmer), straight pipe in the classic "Bulldog" shape (also known as "Haïti"), recognizable by the grooves on its bowl and its square shank, which make it particularly comfortable to hold.
With its brown sandblasted finish, it completes its vintage look with a beautiful marbled 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.
