Stanwell De Luxe Sandblast Pipes

I have this and another Stanwell. Both get very hot very quickly. Both are beautiful pipes.

This is consistently one of my best smoking pipes - I have two of them!

Exactly what I was looking for. A nice, yet affordable textured billiard pipe. When I fill it with tobacco and light it, I can draw smoke from the other end!

The pipe holds a good amount of tobacco so I can enjoy a long smoke.

Excellent pipe at fair cost.

I've wanted to buy one since I got into pipe smoking a couple of years go, but they were either unavailable or I opted for deeper bowls (like the 185). I also prefer round shanks/stems, since they don't irk the perfectionist in me as they aren't as difficult to align. I'm glad I finally bought one. I love the way the ball shape fits in the hand, and how the fits between the shank and bowl. The look and feel of the sandblast is wonderful. I especially like the fact that the rim is also sandblasted. I own quite of the brushed finishes, and wish the rims weren't shellacked.

Love these pipes. I will have them all some day.

I bought this along with a De Luxe 51 and am very happy with both of them. My family is from Denmark and I have a few older pipes that belonged to my grandfather, these are very similar in style and construction to the vintage pipes he brought with him from Denmark in the 1950's.
