Favorite Stanwell Shapes?

[drastic_quench]

I'm really digging Stanwells lately, for looks, a great smoke, and price. I'm wondering what some of your favorite shapes are? Links to pictures are appreciated.

I'm linking to Frenchy's because he's got good multi-angle pics that highlight the shape (click on the thumb pic).

My favorite is 217. It's a cross between a horn and a Dublin with an 1/8 of a bent, but there's also this "line" that runs down the middle of the pipe very much like a ship's hull. The symmetry that line lends and the super thick walls really make this one of my favorite pipe shapes period.

Another one I really admire is 186. I'm a fan of larger pipes because I don't get to smoke as often as I'd like; so when I do, I want a big hunk of briar that'll give me an hour+ smoke. I like how this shape is somehow both traditional looking and modern. With very few exceptions I also prefer bent pipes for looks and functionality.

Stanwell 63! Thick bowl, nice plateau, feels good in the hand, good smoker.

A few years back I was at smokingpipes.com actual shop looking through their pipes. One of the guys down there pulled out the Stanwells that they had just gotten in. They had a small straight Volcano shape in the Zebrano series. I didn't buy it but I'm kicking myself now because I have never seen another one.

Oh My God!!

Drastic Quench just emailed me a link to Frenchy's Pipes. He actually has the Stanwell Volcano that I talked about above.

Dude, you are the man!! I just bought it as an estate for $35!!!!!

I'm still in shock. I'll post some pics when I get it. I've attached the picture from Frenchy's so everyone knows the shape that I'm talking about. Apparently, according to Frenchy, Stanwell doesn't make this shape anymore. That's probably why I had such trouble finding it.

Thanks again Drastic Quench!!!!!!!

I like my price better but someone should definitely snatch that up!! I would have bought it at that price.

I'd love too but my funds have dried up!

SO many pipes, so little time. Plus I have two now in the same shape/style so I'm good there. I got the last of my pipe funds tied up in ebay auctions. I'm going to have to simply just stop looking at ebay here before too long!

I've went a bit crazy right off the bat on the PAD! I need to wrap up these ebay auctions and just stop for a bit!

Looks like I'll need to focus on TAD instead!
My my this IS a slippery slope!

This was my first non-newb pipe. I bought it because of the bowl size, then warmed up to the rest of it.
