Stanwell pipes - input?
I've been looking at Stanwell pipes and like a few different models. How do they rate if I may ask those who've had experience with them?

Thanks

I think they are one of the bargains out there. I have two and they are both great smokers!!

I second this. Got two. One fro flakes, and one for Vapers. Both excellent pipes.

i've had 4 to 6 of them. i currenly have 3 now, and smoke them regularly...
only 1 of them didn't smoke well, and i sent one to "mr.c" that smoked awesome. i use one specifically for G&H Dark Flake (small bowl).

i would recommend them as a good pipe for the price.

Stanwell Pipes, IMHO, are one of the best, if not the best, machine made pipe available, in their price range! Excellent pipes!!!

I guess I bought my first Stanwell about 10 years ago and have added 3 more since and smoke all of them on a regular basis. IMO, dollar for dollar, probably the best value in a machine made briar on the market today.

Peterson, Tsuge, Butz-Choquin and several others manufacture very good machine made pipes in the same price range, but if I had to choose one, it would be the Stanwell.

Re: Stanwell pipes - input?
Thanks for the quick replies, they sure do look very well made from pics I've seen. Never fondled one.

What's best place to get one price-wise online? Any online discount places you'd suggest?

Take this with a grain of salt as I'm acquainted with one of the officers of the company, but I pay the same price as anyone else and have probably bought a half dozen or so pipes from them, both new and estate. Their estate pipes are in remarkably good condition and they always have new and estate pipes on sale that rotate on a weekly basis. Every pipe they sell is photographed from anywhere from one to five or six angles, and the pipe you see online is the exact pipe you will receive. No substitutions. http://www.smokingpipes.com/

I really like that HCA pipe also, so interested in that question myself!

PS: I just picked up a used-but-mint Stanwell "Hans Christian Anderson" for $52.50 shipped to me via E-Bay!

Nice. Is that the one that has the interchangeable Churchwarden stem? The wizard in me wants to know

Nice! I'll have to look for one. The regular price is a bit high for my budget,

Re: Stanwell pipes - input?
Nording also makes a "dual-stem" pipe, but i think their bowl is rather small.
my neighbor has a Bjarne churchwarden that is a very nice pipe in every way, they run a tad over $80 new.
