Poul Winslow Freehand Pipes

Poul Winslow ist the best known, most popular and most successfull Danish pipemaker in Germany. His pipes are famous for extraordinary design, much creativity, and craftmanship.

Everything began in the 1970s when Poul was employed as production manager at the manufactury of Preben Holm. As the maker was forced to close the doors due to health reasons, Poul had to develop a "Plan B".

Luckily, Stanwell was looking for a pipemaker for pipemaking demonstrations in retail shops to show pipesmokers the danish style of pipemaking,

From this point, it developed a fruitful cooperation. Poul also designed for Stanwell many pipeshapes and was a consulter for Stanwell many years.

He used this time to perfectionize his skills, and to establish an professional workshop. Nowadays, there are very few pipemakers that own better equipment than Poul.

Poul does nearly everything in his own workshop. And different as rumours say, he doesn't have Copymachine. Everything is freely formed at the grinding wheel. Acylic decorations are as well made by himself.

Only his wife Jette supports him with his work. She is applying breakin paste (own recipe), she's doing the grading and make them ready for shipping.

His high output relies mainly on his routine. And who's visting Poul in his workshop knows how fast Poul is able to work. Sometimes, Poul is making fun of his visitors and making pipes without looking a single time at it. 

In addition, Poul has high working morals which is rarely seen at pipemakers. He makes pipes from nine to five. Every day, in Summer or Winter.

In his garden he has a little house, where he stores his wood, which is drying and maturing and waiting to become a pipe once. It's in permanent ventilation.

Winslow-Pipes are available in different qualities, as follows:

Many pipesmokers recognize that Winslow pipes taste good from breaking in and taste completely neutral. You don't have to wait several smokes until your pipe begin to taste good. You can expect "Top Performance" from the beginning. His mouthpieces are well made, thin bite and made from acrylic.

Although, the typical Winslow pipe is quite big and has a 9mm Filter. But Poul is always also making some elegant and fragile pieces. Moreover, he's prefering smaller pipes himself. Looking at Pouls own pipes you would see that they are elegant, classical pieces. His favourite shape is his typical, straight poker.

All Winslow Pipes are unique Freehands.
