I know people get all het up about Danish vs. Italian, but as far as I can tell they're still making basically the same pipes they were making 15 years ago, and still at a good value. |

I have an older Stanwell SOMEWHERE out in the storage semi. Retired it a long time ago. I would like to find it and give it some TLC. It’s a full-bent with lovely lines. I’ve looked through the whole line and cannot find another like it. Kind of a cross between a calabash and a blowfish— if that makes sense. |

I was going to go with "blowbash," but I think that might be the name of a movie I saw, once. Okay, twice. |

Ever since I started this forum I've thought about getting a Stanwell. They look like lovely pipes. Yours looks great, Plainsman - health to enjoy it, brother. |

A beautiful pipe, really nice grain there. One objection...what in the Sam hell is the knuckleheads face photo shopped onto my torso pic?...and no steroids for me, legal or otherwise.  |

My wife calls me a beast regularly, and hell, I haven’t exercised since the 70’s, if the picture fits....

Beautiful pipe. Danish or Italian made. Regardless, it's a keeper.

Is there a prejudice against Italian pipes? I have several that I like very much. I mean, what’s Savinelli? Amish?

Beautiful grain, nice plateau, and a great looking stem...what's not to like? Nowhere in the league of that briar, but a few years back I bought up five Stanwells averaging $20.00 apiece, (some worked out to $16 apiece with the discount codes) they are all great smokers, real workhorses. Stanwell makes a great pipe in my opinion. thebriarpatchforum.com/thread/2458/stanwell-sale |
