When pipe smokers talk about pipes that are consistently great smokers, exhibit the creative and beautiful designs that exemplify '''Danish''' pipemaking and offer the best value in factory produced pipes, they are talking about '''Stanwell'''. We hear time and time again, from customers and top pipe makers from around the world, that Stanwell is the best factory produced pipe in the world. Stanwell maintains the most modern pipe making facility in the world and for many years has enjoyed some unique relationships with many legendary Danish pipe makers. In fact, Stanwell occupies a pivotal place in the history of the world-wide popularity of Danish-made pipes. During WWII, Danish pipe smokers could no longer buy the English made briar pipes they preferred to smoke. In 1942, because of the unavailability of English pipes and raw briar, Poul Nielsen began making pipes from beech wood for Danish customers. At the time, Poul was managing a company called Kyringe, which made various wood products. | When pipe smokers talk about pipes that are consistently great smokers, exhibit the creative and beautiful designs that exemplify '''Danish''' pipemaking and offer the best value in factory produced pipes, they are talking about '''Stanwell'''.
