Stanwell Golden Danish Billiard
A few weeks ago I received my first Stanwell pipe and I am now a fan for life! For the price, smoke-ability, style and beautiful sandblasted finish you cannot beat a Stanwell. Surprisingly one of my favorite aspects of this pipe is the saddle stem. It is just a beautiful stem polished to perfection and the crown over the S stands out in a crowd. This Golden Danish is on the short side but is so conformable in the mouth as it is very light. Unfortunately this style was discontinued for the US in 2003, but this Stanwell’s ‘13′ saddle-stemmed Billiard shape will be a new favorite for years to come!

Can’t be the value of a Stanwell! I love mine.

That is, can’t BEAT the value! (I suppose you can’t “be” the value either).

The Stanwell pipe factory is now closed if I recall. Anyone know who is producing them now? I have a few and intend to hold onto them.
I enjoy the Stanwell pipes that I own, but I wonder about the quality when they start making them in Italy.
Bill, I’ve been wondering the same thing. We better buy up our “made in denmark” pipes as I imagine they will increase in value!
