==== Championship pipes ====
==== 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''), 'NM' for the Norwegian, 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 1998 ''Danmarks mesterskab'' pipe, designed by [[Benner|Bent Nielsen]].

[[File:004-001-12713.jpg|thumb|A Superba freehand. Image courtesy Smokingpipes.com.]]
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.]]
