The 32s is a neat little straight Dublin from Ropp — slim-waisted and well-proportioned, with that classic French silhouette you’d spot in a Parisian café back when hats and overcoats were still the done thing. It’s part of their Vintage Horn line, a series that pays homage to the brand’s late 19th-century roots when Charles Ropp first set up shop crafting cherrywood pipes with horn stems in the Jura mountains. Though the name faded for a time, it’s been respectfully revived in Saint-Claude — that old pipe-making town nestled in the French Alps — where original tools, stamping jigs, and carving methods have been brought back into use with quiet reverence.

Crafted from premium briar, this pipe boasts a crisp sandblasted finish that accentuates its natural grain. Dark and slightly pitted, it feels comfortable in the hand and offers ample space for a short or extended smoke.

The standout feature is its genuine polished horn stem, a testament to traditional craftsmanship. The stem’s colour shifts subtly from blonde to amber to honeyed tones with light. Each stem is unique and darkens with age and oil, enhancing its appeal.

Unlike many modern pipes, this one lacks a filter. Instead, it features an open draw and a touch of tradition, passed down through use rather than display. It’s a pipe that grows with you, a natural progression in smoking.
