The Ropp Vintage Horn 29P is a true masterpiece of pipe design. It’s a Liverpool shape made from warm, smooth briar and has a gorgeous horn stem that reminds you of the golden age of pipe making. There’s nothing fancy or flashy about it—just a simple, well-made piece that’s easy to hold and has a vintage feel.

Unlike the more common Billiard, the Liverpool has a longer shank but keeps the bowl upright. This gives it a more elegant look and a cooler smoke because it has more airflow. The smooth finish, carefully polished, shows off the beautiful patterns in the briar—a nod to the wood’s natural journey.

But it’s the horn stem that really steals the show. Natural horn was once the standard for high-quality French and Austrian pipes in the late 1800s, and Ropp keeps that tradition alive with grace. Each stem is unique, just like the regulars who used to come in on Friday afternoons, each with their own favourite blend and story to tell.

If you’re into history, Ropp has been making pipes since 1869. Even though Chapuis-Comoy takes care of production now, the French spirit is still there—practical elegance with a nod to the past. The 29P is light enough to carry around the garden, but it’s also sturdy enough for a cozy fireside session with a good book or a drink.
