Looking at the “checkmark”? shape makes my head hurt, and I’m not sure why. I think the ones that look broken are clever and cool, I’d smoke them, especially the ones wrapped in silver wire.
I was browsing SP like I do a lot and was looking at the line of Butz-Choquin pipes. This name has always made me laugh because being an American speaker (not English, but American), I could easily pronounce this as Butts-Chokin' pipes! I always get a laugh out of that. (I'm sure there's a far more elaborate pronunciation of it...it is French after all.)
@motie2 First…ahh…no. Second…..Why? Sorry, I couldn’t help myself, I think it is damn near as ugly as the pipe. Is it supposed to be a chopped up torso or something? More power to ya🙂
Thanks @Zouave ! I like some of their more traditional styles and they seem to have a reasonable price tag many times, so I was curious...thanks again.
@Zouave I've had my eye on them too, but they seem rather lightweight...and I mean exceedingly so. The shapes I like on Ropp are usually only about 1 oz. Now, to be sure, I prefer pipes that are under 2 ozs, but I've never had a pipe that was only 1 oz...seems like the bowl would have very thin walls...do you have any? How do they hold up to burn out?
I have a few of the Ropp Vintage series pipes that are great for a half flake. I've been eyeing their bent billiards but have found bent Rob Roy cobs to be my favorite English/Balkan pipes so I haven't bought one...yet!
@vtgrad2003 I have two of the Ropp cuttys. They are light, but I don't mind since it's a lighter style. They smoke very nice. Have been using them for Peretti anniversary flake. I will say I did break one on my maiden voyage with it. But that was entirely my fault slipped on the ice snowblowing with it. Was able to repair with a silver band.

Anyway, has anyone ever smoked one of these?
My first thought was, “Diseased.”
Yea, I’m not sure I would want to touch it either😬
