Stanwell Trio Sandblast Pipes

This is a well made pipe I just had no idea how small it was. It looks like a 2/3 scale as compared to a standard billiard. Works well for trying a new blend or if you only have a short time relax in the evening, i just feel kinda silly holding it.

I succumbed to a special offer, and got two Trios, a Sandblast and a smooth. The former has been broken in and is resting before it comes into rotation - the smooth is being broken in now. The Sandblast is about a Dunhill Group 4 in size, while the smooth is a bit smaller - Group 3, I'd say. Both very nice, nice smoking pipes.

I have a fairly large number of pipes, and I smoke them all. Of all the factory-made pipes I have, my Stanwells show the most consistent quality of fit, finish and drilling. The briar selected for the sandblasted models usually displays grain far more interesting than similarly priced pipes and they smoke beautifully. This blasted Trio 107 is no exception. A fairly small billiard, it is perfect to put in your pocket for easy carry and a quick smoke. And it looks terrific.

I ordered a straight stem billiard, my favorite shape. Looks good but, more important, smokes well. I'm completely satisfied.

For the most part it smokes cool and dry. Had a bit of gurgle but it just needs smoked a few more times I think. The pipe itself is beautiful and definitely going into my rotation

Deep bowel, attractive lines. Still breaking in(1/2-3/4 level), but has been an easy break-in period. Smokes great, looks great. I would recommend.

Great pipe for the price, I love Stanwell pipes anyway. I find it smokes ribbon cut better than flake, it tends to stay lit better.The stem has a good fit, not too tight and not loose. Bore holes are lined up perfectly making this a good smoking pipe.

Fantastic deal... Super easy draw and clean as a whistle Need to order the special filters though it's fine without one

Stanwells are reliable pipes modestly priced and quality made! The trio model is no exeption. They are compact and a bit smaller than many people like but they fit my criteria I bought it on sale and thats an appropriate price i cant see my self paying more for it howevet. Al janabi

This is my first Stanwell pipe - didn't know what to expect, especially with the pipes now being at least partly made in Italy. Upon opening the box, I was surprised with the quality and feel. The stem fit perfectly and snug. When I inspected the inside of the bowl, I noticed that the draft hole was slightly off-center, however it wasn't off enough for me to want to return it. Upon first light, I noticed a wonderful, smooth smoke- there is a slight sweetness to the smoke, which I assume is the briar. This is the 3rd pipe I have bought over the last few months- the others being a Savinelli 316KS and a Brebbia Sabbiatta straight apple. Comparing to those, the Stanwell I believe smokes the smoothest, followed by the Savinelli and the Brebbia. This is my 3rd pipe, so I don't have a lot of experience with different brands, however this Stanwell is my favorite at this point and definitely plan to order more from this brand based off my positive experience with this one. For the money, seems this is very hard to beat, being a great smoker already, great quality (other than the slight off-center drilling) and an acrylic stem.

I'm glad I purchased these pipes. Think I will buy a few more just to have. Very well made pipes,actually got to smoke one. Excellent draw and light.
