Oooh that is nice, how much? Wouldn't a straight stem churchwarden like that dump ashes everywhere? I've only ever had bent stem wardens.
Our price: € 109,00 including 20% VAT., plus shipping I seen someone smoking out of it without a problem.
I'd be lying if I said it didn't make me a little dizzy in the head with feeling of happiness when he slides that stem in his hands. What a beauty.
Man, that is one classy pipe. I've never tried a pipe with a painted finish, I wonder how they compare to natural? I've heard they take more time to dry/hold moisture. Perhaps a tale without merrit?
I've got a couple of Stanwells. The fit & finish on them are the best of all my factory made pipes. That particular model is beautiful so I'm sure it will stay in production for at least a few years and you will have time to get one.
Stanwell is probably my favorite large manufacturer, I love their pipes! I lusted after the HCA's for about five years before I ever got my first, a no. 2, and I loved it so much that I ordered my second, a no. 1, less than a month later. They couldn't smoke better! I have never seen the black finish before, and it does make for a gorgeous pipe! Keep an eye on e-bay, they do come up from time to time, maybe the stars will line up in your favor and you can snag one for cheap!
The S on that pipe must stand for sexy, 'cause that is one gorgeous pipe! I could watch that video all day long!
I like that cutty shape a lot. I don't have much use for the churchwarden stem, but I love the bowl shape. I wish the regular stem was a shade longer.
I have a HCA 2. It's definitely one of my favourites. I itchin' for a 1 one of these days, but just don't have the scratch.
