==== Pipe of the Year models ====
Each year since 1979, Stanwell has released a 'Pipe of the Year,' often designed by a notable figure in Danish pipe-making. It appears, however, that, at times, Stanwell has released two completely different pipes for a given year - one drilled to accommodate 9mm filters, and one with a standard bore.

More recently, Stanwell has also released seasonal 'Christmas' pipes.

==== Christmas pipes ====
For a time, Stanwell also released seasonal 'Christmas' pipes, some of which are recorded here:
* Christmas 2001. Quarter-bent Dublin with a bead-line on the rim, triangular shank, two silver bands and a saddle stem.
* Christmas 2001. Bent Dublin with an acrylic ferrule, a silver band and half-saddle stem.
* Christmas 2008. Bent volcano with a flush flared stem.
* Christmas 2009. Bent squat tomato with an acrylic ferrule and a saddle stem.
==== Championship pipes ====
Stanwell supplies several slow-smoking championships across Scandinavia with pipes for these occasions. These pipes do not have shape codes, but can be identified by a st'amp for the year of production and for the event they were made for, such as 'DM' for the Danish Championship (Danish: ''Danmarks mesterskab''), 'SSM' for the South Sealand Championship (Danish: ''Sydsjællands mesterskab)'', and so on. Stanwell often uses existing models for these championship pipes, but there have been occasions when a famous pipe maker has created a design especially for the occasion, such as the 1988 ''Danmarks mesterskab'' pipe, designed by [[Benner|Bent Nielsen]].


=== 'Jubilee' (Danish: ''Jubilaeum'') pipes ===
=== 'Jubilee' (Danish: ''Jubilaeum'') pipes ===
In 1982, and in 1992, Stanwell released special 'Jubilee' pipes featuring iconic shapes from the history of Stanwell pipes, including shapes no longer in standard production. The 1982 pipes celebrated the 40th anniversary of Stanwell as a company (''jubilaeum'' is Danish for 'anniversary') while the 1992 pipes celebrated its 50th. Pipes could be purchased individually or as a full set of the 6 pipes in each Jubilee range. Different shapes featured in the two Jubilee ranges. In the 1992 Jubilee range, stems could be either standard black vulcanite, or cumberland ebonite.
On occasion, Stanwell released special 'Jubilee' pipes, most notably in 1982 (40th), 1992 (50th), and 2002 (60th), though 'Jubilee' pipes do exist from Stanwell's 'registration era.'
 
For the 40th and 50th Jubilee, a number of iconic shapes were chosen from Stanwell's back catalog (including shapes no longer produced). Pipes could be purchased individually, or as a full set. Different shapes featured in the Jubilee ranges. In the 1982 range, pipes were offered in natural, red, and golden contrast stains. In the 1992 Jubilee range, stems could be either standard black vulcanite, or cumberland ebonite.


For the 50th (1942-1992) jubilaeum, these shapes were:

During the 1960s, Stanwell first started to sell what are commonly called called 'free hand' pipes, and were marketed as such. However, these pipes were only stamped with the Stanwell name and registration number, as well as "HAND MADE IN DENMARK" or "MADE IN DENMARK," and some were also stamped "de Luxe." The designs of these pipes did not conform to Stanwell's shape codes and established formal conventions (including for their stems); rather, their shaping was left to the whim of in-house carver, [[Hansen, Poul|Poul Hansen]]. These 'freehand' pipes were similar in design philosophy to those of carvers such as [[Holm, Preben|Preben Holm]], in that they were shaped in ways that emphasised natural grain patterns and explored unconventional compositions, rather than established pipe forms. These pipes were offered in sandblasted or smooth finishes, and in a number of stains. As it would be impossible to account for every 'free hand' shape Stanwell made under Poul Hansen's direction, a small selection of these pipes are instead pictured below.

At some point between 1970 and 1990, Stanwell sold the 'Superba' line of pipes. These pipes were crafted in the same manner as their earlier freehand pipes and did not conform to Stanwell's catalog of established shapes, however 'Superba' pipes were still often closer to classical designs, or to designs in the emerging Danish tradition, than the freehand pipes Stanwell sold in the 1960s. Two examples are given below, as a means of indicating the range of design approaches found in 'Superba' pipes. These pipes were simply stamped 'Superba,' along with Stanwell's brand nomenclature, and were not numbered.

=== 'TE' Pipes ===
When Tom Eltang worked as a sales representative for Stanwell, he procured a few pre-turned bowls from the Borup factory, which he finished himself to present when liaising with vendors across Europe. These pipes are distinguished by an encircled 'TE' in the nomenclature.
 
=== 'Winsløw' Pipes ===
When Poul Winsløw worked as a sales representative for Stanwell, he made his own versions of Stanwell shapes to present when liaising with vendors across Europe, sometimes with distinct design changes. These pipes are distinguished by the addition of 'WINSLØW' in the nomenclature.[[File:Screenshot 20230415 201936 eBay.jpg|thumb|A 'Superba' freehand. Image courtesy Valeria eBay.]]
