Stanwell Deluxe 139 Sandblasted Bent Billiard Estate Briar Pipe, Unsmoked

Description

Stanwell is one of Denmark’s most celebrated and enduring pipe companies, having been founded by Poul Nielsen shortly after the second world war. Over the last six decades, Stanwell has established itself as both a leader in innovative Danish design and for producing well-priced pipes with precision construction and engineering. Many of its designs were created for the company by iconic pipe-makers in the Scandinavian scene, such as Sixten Ivarsson, Anne Julie, Jess Chonowitsch, and Tom Eltang.

The “139” is a shape designed for Stanwell by the late, legendary Jess Chonowitsch, and one of many shapes that came out of a partnership between the two beginning in the 1980s. With a sleek, supple physique and a tulip-like billiard bowl, the shape is essentially a 1/4 bent sister shape to another Chonowitsch-Stanwell design, the “169,” and both have remained in production more or less continuously ever since. This one is dressed in the grayish-brown hues of the De Luxe sandblast finish, and is accented with a tasteful brass trim.

This pipe is completely unsmoked, with an original bowl coating.
