I do all my tobacco related shopping with Smokingpipes and was just wandering. I remember when they stopped, just don't know why. I'm a big fan of Stanwells. I've also been out of touch with the forum and pipe news in general.

I have no contacts who would tell me, so I can only guess. It may have had to do with pipesandcigars getting the inside track and selling Stanwells for about half of what smokingpipes.com offered, after Stanwell moved production to Italy from Denmark. Or I may just be piecing together circumstances that aren't the cause. The tobacco pipe industry is pretty tight lipped, so I frequently have to guess at what is happening.

Iwan Ries still has a few Stanwells on their web site, and one Stanwell Trio blast that says it is made in Denmark; you might want to call to confirm before ordering. The price is good for a Denmark made pipe. It's too much like a BC I already own, a blast billiard.
