Algerian Superior Bent Billiard Tobacco Pipe

Exuding the svelte lines and demure nature that characterize many of Ropp's designs, this bent Billiard is well balanced, featherweight option for those interested in a easily clenched, traditionally shaped pipe. The slender bowl matches the shank's trim dimensions — the streamlined motif furthered by the sleek diminution of the saddle stem — and the mouthpiece's bend both balances the bowl's forward can in profile and makes for a comfortable smoking posture.

Like the Vintage line, Ropp's Algerian Superior series boasts stummels that were found at the Chapuis-Comoy factory. Turned decades ago but never finished, they showcase old-school shaping and a traditional, chestnut stain fitted to an ebonite stem for a classic appeal. Unlike Ropp's Vintage pipes, Algerian Superior pieces are presented only in a smooth finish, having been sourced from select-quality Algerian briar that's free of fills, similar to the Vintage Superior series, which pairs smooth-finished, fill-free stummels to horn stems.

Note: While most of our other pipes are photographed individually, these are not, and you may expect some reasonable cosmetic variation between the example we've photographed and the pipe you've received.
