Stanwell Featherweight Black Sandblast Pipes

Nice small pipe for a break.

Tis is a fine pipe.

I am a fan of Stanwell Pipes, and I purchased this one for under $50- and that’s pretty darn good. It’s a great pipe. It is, however, on the smaller side and I do wish it were larger.

Nice pipe, but I do not consider it a Featherweight. I have an actual Featherweight that is a standard pipe size, and weighs much less. The Stanwell is just a smaller pipe.

I am once again a happy customer. This lightweight short smoke pipe is a dream to smoke. I spent decades of my life avoiding small pipes. Thanks to the Featherweight I'm a convinced convert. It smokes dry and cool and longer than I thought it would given its size. Great for a short smoke. It's sandblast design gives ample surface area to keep the smoke cool and avoids the bite one finds in a hot pipe. I'm very happy with this one.

It's a nice light weight pipe!

Featherweight Black 245 (poker): Handsome, Rustic Charm. I can picture myself saying something profound while smoking it, like, “They say you're a hard put and desperate man, Josey Wales. They're goin' to heel and hide you to a barn door. You know what I say? I say that big talk's worth doodly-squat.” I bought this poker for quick smoke at break time at work. It draws like a flue. Not surprising, since it’s shaped like a chimney, eh? I was worried that it might smoke hot (deep chamber, short stem), and it could. But the problem is easily resolved by placing your thumb over the rim for a hal’ second when it starts to heat a little, thus depriving the fire of O2. Try 1.5 second as fire gets toward the heel. A tenderfoot could control the fire with this method. Another method is to shove a stiff, 1”diameter pipe screen halfway down the chamber. Good method if you have short work breaks. Great ergonomics. I love the feel of this in the hand. Easy to hang on to, unlike some pots that slip around in the hand. It comes with a nice cloth pouch. Small and light, so you won’t even notice you’re carrying it. And, it’s easy on the pocketbook. I would give it 5 stars. But like a figure skating judge, I want to hold something in reserve for that perfect performance. But, it’s a, “Buy It,” from me.

Im pretty happy with my new smoking pipes.

I enjoy this pipe now that I have made the stem hole bigger. The pipe kept clogging as soon as I would use it. I finally used a tool to make it a little wider, and now it is fine.
