***What Are You Smoking, August 2024?***

[Skink]

I've wanted a Stanwell Lovat for a while, after reading a thread here on PM from last summer that mentioned how Stanwell got bought and was moved to Italy, I now wanted a Stanwell Lovat made in Denmark. Within minutes of searching estate pipes, I came across this, a Stanwell FM 2000 (Frederikshavn Pipe Smoking Championship) Lovat with Vario style finish (part black sandblast and part smooth flame grain). Didn't hesitate on purchasing and it was delivered today. Enjoying my traditional first smoke of Sutliff Duke Albert through it with a cup of Black tea.

Awesome work my friend. I've collected the tools, need someone to show me how to use them. I've always admired old world craftsmanship. It amazes me what was done before electricity.
