New Stanwell Revival Brushed Black Apple Pipe Silver Band Limited Release Line For Sale

NIB Stanwell Revival Briar Pipe designed by Tom Eltang! Limited Release! Sterling Silver Band Brushed Black Apple + Box. Now Sold Out Mostly

Description & Info:

(I have one more only of this pipe, only light brown smooth finish with beautiful grain. It’s a bit more but if you’d like photos, message me. I’ll have it up soon enough.)

*This pipe is brand new, in the box. It was removed to take photos only and carefully repackaged. The photos you see is the actual pipe you get, not an example of one.

About this Revival Line:

A selected group of retailers and opinion leaders has been asked: "What old Stanwell shape would you like to see revived for a limited time"?

This time the group decided to revive the famous apple shape - model 131. It was originally designed by Danish pipemaker Tom Eltang for Stanwell.

Bonus information:

Tom has designed a lot of iconic models for Stanwell, but if you ask which one is his favourite he always mention this one. 

My notes:

The Revival line by Stanwell is an upper tier series of shapes from the past that were voted back into production for a limited time and number. It’s certainly one of my 2 favorite lines by Stanwell as for modern releases, albeit limited and most shapes are sold out now. I love the ones that were chosen.

I have the blowfish shape and it was among my first nice pipes and I love to smoke it. It’s my Full Virginia Flake pipe and looks every bit as nice as day one and is among my favorite looking pipes as well. I am a Stanwell fan with a decent collection and it’s among my favorites and the only modern piece I have.

This pipe:

The fact this is a Tom Eltang design is truly a bonus. I love collecting designer made Stanwells and Eltang makes some gorgeous pieces.

This Eltang shape #131 in a Brushed Black finish with a smooth brown rim and sterling silver band leading to a short, flared saddle stem.

I really love Apples and got 2 of these as I really wanted to see it in person and have had such a great experience with my other Revival pipe. It’s almost impossible to find any left online accept a couple places in Europe.

Please look at the photos as they’re your indication of condition along with dimensions, that are listed below. If you have any questions, please ask before purchasing.

Thank you so much for looking. - Peter

MY RESTORATION PROCESS:

As with all my pipes, this piece has first off, vetted and thoroughly inspected. The internals are cleaned very well and the chamber reamed and cleaned to minimize ghosting and ensure good condition.

The stem almost always has an hour or more of meticulous work put in. It has been gently re-surfaced to remove any oxidation, marks or scratches and hand polished to an extremely smooth finish that’s a deep, shiny black. Obsidian Stem Oil with its UV block is applied a couple times during the process to slow down future oxidation. Any metal parts are cleaned and polished. The stummel has been carefully buffed up to White Diamond, a very smooth compound that helps remove old wax and residue and leaves the briar very smooth and shiny. The pipe recieved multiple coats of fresh carnauba wax over the course of a day. I apply thin coats with rests between and a buffing before the next coat. These stacked layers of Carnauba leave a long lasting and durable protective coat that looks and feels great. Finally, it’s hand buffed with a clean micro-fiber towel.

The stem fits nicely, air flows freely and the pipe is fully ready to smoke out of the box.

INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING: - CANADA + Elsewhere:

I’ve made it available for Canada and other countries. For Canada, it’s typically $19.99 and costs me about $17 to ship and I insure it due to higher risk. After shipping materials, I take a loss actually but want these affordable for our friends up North!

With shipping, if you purchase a couple pipes separately and I’ve not yet packed them, I’ll refund the extra charge as I can combine them. I refund any excess costs when there are any.

I can quote the cost and allow for shipping at your request If there is not an option available automatically.

Please message me on this any time. I will only charge the cost of the postage plus insurance as it’s a bit more risky. It’s about $1 per $100 of insurance. If the cost of shipping to your area is less, I’ll refund any excess charges as well.

I BELIEVE IN THE GOLDEN RULE. I sell and ship everything as I’d expect to receive it myself or better.

ABOUT ME:

I am obsessed with the hobby and have a deep love for it in all respects. I collect pipes and grow my cellar while enjoying several bowls a day. I have invested a large amount of money into my shop and I am always working on improving. As soon as I’m able to get a home with room, I’ll build my own shop and be making pipes much of the day too. It has to be home as I always need to be close to my son. - I am a stay-at-home dad for my special needs son who is amazing and my pride and joy. I really needed a way to feel accomplishment and stay busy while trying to earn a bit extra for equine therapy and other services that will help him and have fun too. This has really helped a lot and while stressful at times, such a fun thing to spend time doing. I do struggle to reply here and there if a lot is going on. If I take a bit longer to reply to questions or requests, I apologize in advance.

SHIPPING:

I don’t own the United States Postal Service. Once I’ve shipped your package, I have NO control on delays.

I almost always will ship the next business day. I put within 1-3 business days as sometimes on busier weeks, I’ll need an extra day to properly pack everything.

I’ve never had an item arrive damaged. In most cases, I have a poly bag on top to make it rain resistant and a bit more secure. The exception is it the package is larger than standard. I don’t profit off of the shipping fee. My fees are for postage and materials only.

RETURNS:

If you’re not 100% happy, please let me know. I’ll do whatever is fair to fix any problems. I accept returns within 1 week of arrival (unless stated as longer) and I can be flexible there. We all have lives. Returns accepted provided that: The item has not been used. It is in exact same condition as the photos in the ad and when I sent it out. Buyer pays shipping for returns unless there is an error on my end in which case I will cover the cost. I almost never get a return. I try hard to not have any surprises and you get what you see or better in person.

I RARELY ever get a return. I can count on one hand how many over several years and it’s usually because the pipe is smaller or larger than a customer expected. This is why I ask twice in the ad to review dimensions I carefully take. If you have any concerns about size, I’m happy to provide a few more photos to you with some size comparisons of your request. Refunds are for the cost of the pipes shipping if it’s your choice. If there’s a mistake on my part, I’ll pay for all of course. I very much want you to be extremely happy with your purchases. Not just for business, but because I’m an enthusiast and want the same myself.

Why the Fake Grass? - It helps the pipes stay in position for taking photos actually. It works so well, I’ve not changed to something a bit less funny looking. It stands out too doesn’t it?

If you ever have questions on any of this, feel free to email me. I’ll respond as soon as it’s possible. The site can spam my inbox a lot or glitches can happen, so sometimes they get lost or buried beneath others. Feel free to send again if I don’t reply as it’s never intentional.
