Stanwell Authentic Pipes

The Stanwell Authentic is one of those rare finds that one wants to just keep in rotation constantly. The only way keep from doing that is to buy several. Each one I have shows a different grain and the color change is more pronounced with blends higher in Perique, Latikia and Virginias. The problem --PIPES AND CIGARS won't keep these at a decent inventory level so there's little hope we'll ever have the opportunity to buy them again. More's the pity, these are great pipes at reasonab!e price points.

Good Brier, easy carbon build up and is developing a nice color. It's going to be a good pipe. Well done Stanwell.

Smokes great, of course. I immediately applied some Decatur Pipe Wax (available here) and it got a pleasing color to it.

bought 2 of these 2 years ago. Fast stain and polish and you're good to go. Actually GREAT value. Buy a few. You'll be surprised how good they are.

Ugh

Smokes well. I enjoy watching the color change.
