Stanwell De Luxe Sandblast Pipes

Smokes really cool and feels good to hold.

This is probably my favorite pipe. The bowl seems to fit up to a whole flake (or 3/4 anyway). I cannot remember what smoked in it last but I hope it wasn't G.L. Pease Quiet Nights because that stuff ghosted my Peterson System pipe. This is a really good pipe so either dedicate it or don't use anything that might ghost it.

Excellent pipe at fair cost.

The Stanwell 11 is a favorite shape as it's quite versatile. It can work as a larger bowl for flakes/kakes/plugs, or as medium-large bowl for other cuts. It also fits nicely in the hand and doesn't necessarily need a pipe stand. The fact that it's slightly bent means that it can be cleaned right away with ease. I had to take a star of the rating because all 3 I bought seem to have narrower airways than my first, brushed version; meaning I likely can't use inserts. I had to remove the insert from the first one I started to break in, because the draw was too tight.

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.

I get a lot of positive comments on the unique shape of this pipe. Because of it's shape, it doesn't get hot in your hand.

Love this pipe. It's thick so it stays cool in your hand. It's a great conversation piece due to its unique shape.

pipe smokes cool, light weight, well made, just great all around smoke. I have multiple Stanwell's and would get another! Try it.

Stanwell pipes are a bargain for the quality and smoking properties.

The Deluxe 95 Sandblast is not only a very eye appealing pipe, it is also an excellent smoker and a great value. Hard to beat a Stanwell pipe, I add one to my collection on a monthly basis!

Deluxe 95 (bent Dublin): I had been seeking a Brebbia, Fat Bob for a while, but while browsing I came across this handsome and whimsical pipe, and for some inexplicable reason, it was the only shape on sale at a $34 discount. It spoke to me, “Buy me, you frugal, pipe hunting bloodhound.” And, I’m glad I did. Great smoker, like all my Stanwells. Although it’s supposed to be a Dublin, it smoke more like a pot, which I like. It doesn’t concentrate the flavor towards the bottom, like the tapering chamber of a Dublin. You can puff on this with abandon, like a switchyard steam locomotive, if you get to fretting about a problem, as I sometimes do, and hardly warm the outside of the bowl. Light weight and comfortable to hold, but probably not the one you would carry out and about, due to the bulk. Even at the current price, it’s a bargain.

Stanwell is the best smoking pipe for your money.From the first bowl your smoking experience is enjoyable.excellent craftsmanship and handsome pipes.Stanwells are great...end of story.

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.

A delicate, cool smoke with a ruggedly handsome look. Exactly what I wanted!

Best pipe ever so thick the it won't get hot

I love this pipe, tenon was a little lose but I was able to fix it soaking dipping it in hot water and inserting the tip of a pen gently into wile hot and letting it cool. Smokes great. Do not forget to Dr. Perl 9mm filters if you plan on using filters.
