Royal Danish was a sub-brand of Denmark’s Stanwell company. Using the same shapes as the main Stanwell line, Royal Danish is now a great way for customers to get their hands on iconic Danish pipes that are no longer manufactured by Stanwell or by any of its sub-brands. What’s more, Stanwell sub-brands were of a…

Jørn Larsen was a fascinating figure within Danish pipe-making. Trained in mechanical engineering and locksmithing, Larsen came to pipe-making relatively late in his life, at least in comparison to many of his peers. He had smoked a pipe since he was 15, and he had dabbled with pipe-making during his teenage years and his twenties,…

In the world of pipes, Tom Eltang needs no introduction. I will, however, give one anyway, if just as a reminder. Eltang made his first pipe from a Pipe-Dan hobby kit at the age of 11. At age 16, he apprenticed under the legendary Anne Julie, before moving on to work for Pipe-Dan three years…

B. Barling and Sons was originally founded in 1812 by Benjamin Barling and began as a family business making silver-adorned meerschaum pipes.

Kriswill found considerable success…

While Ben Wade was a historic British pipe brand, for a time during the 1970s, production of Ben Wade pipes was contracted out to one of Danish pipe-making’s superstars: Preben Holm. Though he would tragically pass away at the age of 42, Holm was one of the pioneering figures in the ‘Danish design’ movement in…
The Stokkebye family are giants in the tobacco world; their pipes are similarly renowned, but for a slightly different reason. This is because Stokkebye-brand pipes have been made, at different times, by different makers – typically, though not always, by Danish masters. Peter Stokkebye pipes were largely made by one seminal figure in Danish pipe-making…

To most, Svendborg is simply a small town on the island of Funen in Denmark. But to Danish pipe collectors, it is arguably as significant a place as Copenhagen. This is because the town has been the home base of some of the most revered pipe-makers in Denmark, such as Manduela Riger Kusk or Kaj…
Karl Erik was a Danish pipe-maker, and one of the originators of the Danish style of pipe-making that swept the world in the 20th century.

Larsen workshop alongside other budding masters,…

Age (or rather, Åge) Bogelund is a somewhat less known carver from the 20th century Danish pipe-making tradition – though he was no less a master than his contemporaries.

As is often the case with the greats of Danish pipe-making, the story of Poul Winsløw begins as one of a master and an apprentice.

I’m afraid I don’t know who made this freehand, though I do know that it was made by a Danish carver, and the country of manufacture stamping is uncannily similar to the one used by Preben Holm. The mixed finish is also something Holm had a proclivity for. It’s a nice, solid pipe, though, with…

It is a happy irony that Mike Sebastian Bay was introduced to pipe-making by breaking one.

I’m not sure who made this pipe. It may well have been a second by one of the great freehand carvers, such as Preben Holm, Karl Erik, or Erik Nording. It’s a nice design, featuring an acorn-like bowl paired with an Oom Paul sitter figure. The condition is very good. Minor inner rim darkening and…

Who is, or was, K. Johansen? My research from the limited information available is that he is – or, again, was – Danish and that he made Danish “freehand” style pipes. And from looking at this one, he was very good at it. The straight grain on this very large piece is practically magisterial, and…

It’s a cliche, I know, but when I think of Anne Julie I am reminded of the mythical phoenix, rising from the ashes. This is because the impetus for Julie becoming a pipe-maker was tragedy.
