Out of stock
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.
It has been a tradition for many years now for Stanwell to provide pipes for the many slow-smoking competitions that take place across Denmark. This is why some Stanwells can be found with initials such as “SM,” “DM,” or, as with this one, “RM.” The “M” stands for “mesterskab,” which is Danish for something like “championship”; the “R” on this one (if I remember correctly) stands for “Roskilde.” So, it was made for the Roskilde annual slow-smoking competition. As it was made in 1991, it features an ebonite stem and was made in Denmark, in Stanwell’s Borup factory.
The condition is fair. Rim darkening and handling marks.
