I've heard great things about these. I have yet to add a stanwell to my collection, and it's awesome to hear that it already smokes so good! I just got over a case of savinelli PAD - going to have to think about getting a stanwell soon though. Seems like a pretty good value for the money.
With this pipe purchase I now have 4 pipes. 3 I will keep at home and one smaller bulldog I keep in my tobacco bag for daily carry. I'm working on getting up to 7 for a full weeks rotation though 3 worked out pretty well for my needs. For all those who have a little bit of the fever and have 54 bucks to spend on a really nice looking, well made, no flaws I could notice, pipe...then indulge and pick one of these nice beauties up...you won't be sorry.
I don't want to derail this thread but, Holy hell.
Just noticed that the much celebrated and truly missed Harris has posted 20 times in the past 24 hours.
Welcome back, friend.

Good looking pipes. I had looked at the #15 also. I used to dislike the shape of pokers very much, but they have been growing on me of late. Might have to try on in this line and see what I think of them.
