This Zulu pipe from Ropp exemplifies French craftsmanship. It’s lean, poised, and unique, tracing back to the 19th-century Jura workshops of Charles Ropp. Today, pieces are made in Saint-Claude using vintage tools and jigs, reflecting the past.

The bowl’s slight forward camber gives it a rakish profile, while the long, straight shank creates an elegant silhouette and a cool, dry draw. The sandblasted finish is crisp, blackened, and tactile, lacking gloss but showcasing character. The horn stem features warm cream and amber swirls.

Open grain and tradition characterise this pipe, perfect for flakes, VaPers, or quiet bowls. It feels like a daily drawer opener.
