My First Stanwell

[orlandofurioso]

The Danish factory closed sometime back and production was moved to Italy.
So the only way you will get a Danish-made Stanwell is on the estate market.
NOS Danish Stanwells pop up from time to time, but tend to get snapped up quickly.

Stanwell has had a long history of commissioning designs from top Danish makers eg Sixten Ivarsson, Anne Julie, Jess Chonowitsch, Tom Eltang and Nanna Ivarsson amongst others.

Pipedia has good, albeit incomplete, information on the shape numbers and their designers

I always turned to Basil Stevens list ( and there missing quite some information too ), but if you can post an alternate one please do !

The list in Pipedia is my reference.
There are quite a few gaps unfortunately

I’ve been wanting a Dublin pipe for awhile now. I also have an appreciation for Stanwell. This thread has kicked me over the edge.

I just bought one, but bent, in their smooth Trio line. Shape 405 stock photo:

Beautiful pipe!! I’m sure it will be a great smoker.

Enjoy!

Very nice looking pipe. I have more Stanwells than any other brand or maker and I love all of them. I only have danish made Stanwells but I'm sure the newer ones are very good as well. Happy smoking!

You can’t go wrong with a Stanwell.

I have probably 20 Stanwells. Reg’d, Danish and Italian production. Well made, fit and finish, drilled perfectly. And not overly expensive.

A few years back P&C was blowing out the Brushed Brown line for $20 a piece. Best value for the money I ever spent on a pipe.

Nice pipe bro! I got my first Stanwell pipes two days ago as well. Made in Denmark, they are really nice!



They are the Royal Danish 161, and Mat shape 85

I'm sure there are plenty of new boxed Danes in tobacco shops, both B&M and online. You just have to know which barcode numbers correspond to Denmark. Stanwell's boxes have the code.

Back in the day, 35 years or so, the neighbouring pipe shop in Saskatoon, Sk sold primarily Stanwells, so basically that’s all I smoked and collected. All I have is Stan’s and Brigham. Stanwell never seemed to disappoint.
Thats a beautiful pipe! Happy puffing.
