You nailed it. The fact of the matter is that a pipe collector is a pipe collector. In addition, a Dr. Grabow is a pipe, just like a pipe made by Bo Nordh is a pipe.Danish_Pipe_Guy":8a3o24cq said:I now honestly believe that a properly engineered hunk o' wood with a wide open draw will smoke every bit as well as any pipe on the market!
Keep going bro, for as long as the Danish hold up, looking at scoring a couple more estates myself!!pipedirector":c8xpn0oo said:I've been in the Stanwell buying mood as of late. In my opinion, they have the best selection of desirable shapes for an affordable price... at least at the moment. I really hope things don't go downhill -- recent news hasn't been that bright.

Treating yourself to a new "Stanna" is NEVER a poor decision, but instead is ALWAYS a brilliantly calculated purchase. You will not be disappointed! I have one and it is freaking awesome. Let us know how you like it!Raid":0byrfanb said:I've had few Stanwell estate pipes this far but -thanks to this thread- just ordered Stanwell Nanna Ivarson. Poor excuse, but early xmas gift maybe.
I believe you'll love this pipe - mine is great. As I've mentioned before, I'm considering buying another one!Raid":yxi7nra3 said:I've had few Stanwell estate pipes this far but -thanks to this thread- just ordered Stanwell Nanna Ivarson. Poor excuse, but early xmas gift maybe.
Master Stephen has spoken!!!! :cheers: :cheers: :cheers:StephenDownie":35v2bal8 said:I have quite a few Stanwells that I reach for on a regular basis. One designed by Sixten Ivarsson was a contributing factor for my getting into pipe making. Very decent smoking pipes.
Good question, waiting to see an Italian Stan also.pipe dreamer":zkxhqfmc said:it was doc"s fault. 6 Nannas later and a few others.All are good smokers. Only one had to be worked on to accept all 9mm filters,easily done by hand with a drill.Mine are all euro models.Stanwell I have been told has soid to an italian firm.Has anyone seen an Italian stan yet? I have recently bought a high end Viprati and true to form found another one I must have to continue making Pipe Angels.(that black dust that falls out of your pipe when finished.)good smoking!
