Somebody in Denmark understood the assignment: build a bulldog that looks like it owns the ranch.
This Stanwell 173 has a low, muscular bowl, a hard-lined diamond shank, and a saddle stem kicking back like it’s got nowhere to be until sundown. That craggy crown gives it a little gravel-road grit, while the smooth briar underneath glows like good bourbon held up to the light. And those twin bead lines? Sharp enough to warrant a closer look.
With S. Bang design behind it, there’s real pedigree in those proportions. The bowl carries the weight; the rising shank and long bend give it swagger. That’s a hell of a silhouette.
Clear a spot where you can see it from your chair. You’re gonna want to look at this one even when you’re smoking something else.
Professionally restored. Stem is 9/10. Come and take it.

I combine shipping on orders over $40 in the continental US, just ask!
Measurements available upon request.
My shipping is a little more than some. I use UPS (unless it's going to a PO Box or non contiguous US) because UPS has a 98% success rate versus USPS at 87.5%. I have a dedicated UPS representative who goes above and beyond in the rare case there is a shipping issue. Three-ish dollars is worth the peace of mind in my opinion.
