Ropp: Geant Sandblasted Pot Tobacco Pipe

Rendered in exceptionally robust dimensions, this substantial Pot from Ropp is a dramatic departure from the French marque's penchant for trim, lithe designs. The burly bowl is remarkably broad, surrounded by immensely thick insulating walls that comfortably fill the palm. The muscularity of the bowl continues into the hearty shank as well as the saddle stem's base, before dropping down to the slender portion of the mouthpiece and button. It's an ideal choice for anyone who prefers traditional shapes executed on a colossal scale.

Meaning "giant" in French, Ropp's Géant series is devoted to massive briars, prioritizing chamber depth and palm-filling substance. Such a style is a stark departure from the French marque's typically more diminutive and streamlined proportions — the Géant line instead catering to those who prefer more robust shaping and lengthy smoking sessions. Ropp maintains their traditional shaping and finishing style, though, with this particular piece dressed in a classic, dark brown sandblast.
