[QUOTE="chopstix, post: 81850, member: 27"] Coincidentally, I picked up one of my old Stanwells last night (this one is about ten years old) and smoked a bowl of old Nightcap in it and it was pretty darned good. I really do admire the quality of the stems and briar and would have to say that they smoke better than any machine made pipe I own. That said, I think it would be tough to compare a mass produced stem with a handcut stem. I love the way that Jeff Gracik's and Jody Davis' pipes smoke, particularly the comfort and draw of their mouthpieces. Ultimately though, I think the "bang for the buck" factor with Stanwells is huge and they occupy a regular spot in my rotation right along with pipes costing considerably more. P.S. Per a prior post, I might try smoking some Sobranie in the crapper this evening, but I have a strange feeling my wife might find this to be . . . er . . . unacceptable. [/QUOTE]
