Thank you.
The blasted Stanwell is a 1992 POTY (no shape number).
The Stanwell Hans Christian Andersen line has a very similar shape with 2 stems (churchwarden and short) available in both smooth and blasted finishes.

Dear Friends,
I'm finding my taste in pipes are moving from Irish and Italian to Danish. I still grab a Pete when heading into the metroplex for a trip of several hours (if anything untoward happens, I don't have to worry about damage or loss to a pipe--knock on wood, that's not happened LOL), and when starting on chores around the yard and house. Castellos for decompressing after work, before settling in for the night. Stanwells for starting the day and having smaller, faster bowls (in order to have 2 or 3 different "flavors"/varieties). And the, "special" Danes for the few longer, slower smokes when relaxing after everything's done for the day/night. My appreciation of the Danish pipes is really growing beyond all my other, "makes"/kinds of pipes.
What about you?
kind regards,
mike

What Danish pipes take your preference? Do you have any photos?
I have a few Celius pipes. I LOVE that sitter!A couple of pipes from Svend Axel Celius, a King,

A not often seen shape, Stanwell 11R by Anne Julie, two examples.
No photos yet. An Ilsted comes in "first place" today.
I thought by page 3 someone would have posted a photo of their Great Dane dog.
Nice pipes BTW. Not a dog among them.?

A Winsløw purchased three years ago at the Chicago Pipe Show.
This is half of my Briar pipe collection. Two Eltang Pokers. Both Christmas gifts. The red is a gift from my undeserved amazing wife, it's dedicated to VA's. The black with bamboo is a gift from my ridiculously generous Secret Santa last year, and it's dedicated to latakia blends. One day, I may add an Arne Jacobson to the mix, but I am beyond content with my current lineup.
I don't have any Danes but I do have a Finnish one - here is Mrs Condor at lunch with yours truly!
That King is shaped formidably. It takes command over everything in sight. Besides taking command of the field, it is also a pleasing shape. I don't think I've seen a Celius that wasn't pleasing.A couple of pipes from Svend Axel Celius, a King,

These have all made an appearance in the "What Are You Smoking Thread" (I think), but here they are as a group. From the top: Borge Blume Jensen, Refbjerg Straight Grain, Refbjerg (Handicraft?), Winslow Crown 200, Stanwell HCA with the short stem mounted.
With all due respect and nationality aside, you win this thread.
LePipe.it has a Stanwell HCA cutty/belge in a smooth finish (pretty nice straight grain) @ 172euros, if you're interested.
I have bought from them previously and can recommend them.
The Champ pipe really appeals to me - I love the shape
Thanks for the lead
I had a look on LePipe but didn’t see the one you’re talking about. Probably just as well because I just bought 3 new estates, the K.C pipe show is coming up and I’m going to Vegas in about a month. I’m trying to control my PAD - at least for now
This is a W.Ø. Larsen Straight Grain 10, unsmoked, purchased last Saturday at Iwan Ries while attending a CPCC meeting. Carver unknown.
Does anyone know Rob Cooper’s status? I know he had a significant stroke shortly after the 2019 Chicago Pipe Show.

Not making any claims as to the maker, but have a look here,
