Danish Estates: Stanwell Smooth Billiard with Bamboo (pre-2010) Tobacco Pipe

Product Number: 004-001-38715

Founded by Poul Nielsen, the Stanwell marque was a trailblazer for Danish pipe-making as it found its place on the global stage. During World War II, with briar supplies low and English pipes in short supply, Poul Nielsen sought to meet the needs of Danish pipe smokers by fashioning his own from beechwood under his company, Kyringe. Once the war was over and briar supply lines recovered, Nielsen changed the company's name to Stanwell, and the company would go on to collaborate with Danish pipe-making legends such as Sixten Ivarsson, Jess Chonowitsch, and Tom Eltang. With its lean, lightweight figure, this Billiard from Stanwell is well-suited as an on-the-go pipe. The bowl stands pert and upright, with smooth walls traveling from the rounded heel toward the flat rim. A slim, compact shank transitions from the bowl and meets a two-knuckle stretch of bamboo, adding an organic touch to the composition as it terminates in an abbreviated saddle stem. Dressing the stummel is a light walnut stain that displays handsome grain.
