Stanwell’s history

Whereas most of these stories start with either an inspired young carver or a veteran leaving one of the big manufacturers. Stanwell, however, has a slightly different background Poul Nielsen has produced a range of wood products and with the outbreak of World War II he started making beech pipes. The English made briar smoked in Denmark became unattainable during the war, as did Mediterranean briar. These pipes became popular with local smokers and Nielsen quickly stopped producing other wood products.

At the end of the war, briar quickly became available and Nielsen quickly moved to important material. During this time, Danish pipes had no real history to draw on, so Poul changed not only the company identity, but eventually his own. Gone was the Nielsen name and Stanwell, complete with the Horse & Cart logo, was born. Thanks to his history of working with wood and mass production, Poul realized that with molds and guides he could reproduce even the most complex shapes and drive down the price.
