Ropp Eutdiant

Ruffinogold

The Etudiant line has this as one of their shapes . Its super similar to one of the Bent Bob shapes from back in the 80's . Like the old Bent Bobs , its smaller and super lightweight . I haven't purchased a pipe this year .... yet . This is the first pipe in a while that stands out for me 

The old bent Bob was a total out and about  pipe for me  . It clenched like its wasn't even there and the shape is almost poker like , so placing it down is easy and stable . For an on the go pipe , I thought it was awesome . Im really glad to see this shape/size around again
