4th Generation—or, rather, Erik Stokkebye 4th Generation, to use its full name—is a brand of pipes first conceived by Denmark’s Erik Stokkebye (as one would expect), who holds the accomplishment of representing four generations of the Stokkebye family’s involvement in pipes and tobaccos (as one would also expect). Erik Stokkebye himself does not make pipes;…
Stanwell is one of Denmark’s most celebrated and enduring pipe companies, having been founded by Poul Nielsen shortly after the second world war. Over the last six decades, Stanwell has established itself as both a leader in innovative Danish design and for producing well-priced pipes with precision construction and engineering. Many of its designs were…
Neerup pipes were created by Peder Jeppesen, who began his career in the workshops of the legendary Danish pipe-makers Karl Erik Ottendahl and Erik Nording. Peder’s style has changed over the years, with his more recent work displaying a playfulness in design that is not often seen, even within the avant-garde stylings of the Danish…
Though he was born in Sweden and retained his Swedish citizenship throughout his life, and though there were pipe makers in Denmark long before he arrived, Sixten Ivarsson is considered to be the father of “Danish” pipe making. After a stint as a mechanic and a debt collector, Ivarsson found himself stopping by Suhr’s Pibemageri,…
Bjarne Nielsen was one of the towering figures of Danish pipe-making until his passing in 2008. As the founder of Bjarne, Nielsen employed talented pipe-makers from Denmark to produce distinctly Danish pipes and sold them to a devoted international audience. Among those in his employ were figures such as Mogens Johansen (also known as Johs),…

Erik Stokkebye himself does not make pipes; rather, he…
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…
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…
Tom 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 later. Three years after that, Eltang began working for Stanwell. Through these formative experiences with major Danish pipe-making institutions, Eltang…

Brian Madsen is one of the most formidable Danish pipe makers to have emerged in the last ten years—which is quite something, considering Denmark’s entrenched position as a veritable breeding ground for premier artisans. A former student of Erik Nielsen (who was a student of Kurt Balleby, who was a student of Kai Nielsen and…
Danish pipe-making is notable not only for its masters, but its dynasties. The most famous is, of course, Sixten Ivarsson and his son Lars Ivarsson and granddaughter Nanna Ivarsson; but there is also Anne Julie, her son Bernhard Julie, and her grandson Johannes “Suhr” Rasmussen; Ib Loran and his daughter Tine Loran; Kurt Balleby and…
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…
While a historic pipe shop called “Bertram” existed for around 100 years in the United States between the 19th and 20th centuries, there also appears to have been a Danish pipe maker of a similar name in the post-war period. That pipe maker, or perhaps pipe shop, was called K. Bertram. I’ve seen a number…

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. That master was none other than Preben Holm; the apprentice was a young Winsløw. Holm held Winsløw in especial regard, with the latter ending up as the former’s head assistant…
While Rocky Patel is a cigar company (created by Mr Rocky Patel), it did, in 2015, commission the Nording workshop to produce a series of Rocky Patel pipes. As to how this unlikely partnership came about, Rocky Patel and Erik Nording became friends in the 2000s, which led to Patel’s company creating a cigar to…
Uhle’s is one of Milwaukee’s oldest tobacconists, having opened in 1939. Over the decades, Uhle’s has, as with many historic tobacconists, had house-brand pipes made for it by various companies and individuals. This one was made in Denmark (something quite evident even if it wasn’t stamped as such) and two candidates spring to mind. In…

In 1939, a man named Poul Olsen established a tobacconist shop in Copenhagen. It was a successful one, too, especially as it was—as used to be the case with the great specialty shops of the time—a place where you could have a custom blend made according to your preference. Sadly, those days are gone, and…
WO Larsen was a world-renowned tobacconist in Copenhagen Denmark and a major player in modern pipe history. In the 1960s, when Danish-style pipes were becoming highly sought after, thanks to revolutionary pipe-makers such as Sixten Ivarsson, a workshop was set up on the Larsen premises to produce enough high-grade Danish pipes to meet demand. This…

Peder Jeppesen is a Danish artisan who, with his son Noah, crafts P. Jeppesen and Neerup pipes. As is tradition in Denmark, Jeppesen got his start making pipes in the workshop of Karl Erik, and then in the workshop of Erik Nording, before going solo. Despite graduating from his apprenticeships amidst an incredibly competitive artisan…

There are two things that define a Peder Jeppesen pipe, whether those made under his Neerup moniker, or the higher-grade pieces made under his given name, P. Jeppesen: one is an organic composition, with typical shapes being apples, eggs, acorns, and strawberries; the other is the use of decorative elements, such as brighter color schemes,…
Aside from his close friend and early guide, Sixten Ivarsson, one might reasonably say that no pipe maker the post-war period has had a greater impact on pipe making than Bo Nordh. Born in Sweden in 1941, Nordh did not intend to become a pipe maker, instead training as an engineer. A motorcycle accident in…

The late Søren Eric Andersen was a Danish artisan who was, until recently, much less known than many of his contemporaries—though, to be fair to him, his contemporaries were very well known. In any case, that has thankfully since changed. Andersen had a pipe making career that spanned from 1968 until just a few years ago….

Bent “Benner” Nielsen is something of an unsung hero of the post-war Danish pipe scene. Starting out as a carpenter, a chance encounter with freehand pioneer Karl Erik led to Benner taking a job under the former in the Karl Erik workshop. After working for Erik for several years, Benner then ended up making pipes…

A living legend in Danish pipe-making, Tonni Nielsen first began his career at the age of 16, at the historic W.O. Larsen workshop. Here he apprenticed under Hans ‘Former’ Nielsen and Teddy Knudsen, and within a few years, he was already carving Larsen’s high-grade Straight Grain pipes. After going solo and continuing his successes, Nielsen…

I’ve been quite fascinated by Viby pipes for a while now. They were apparently made in some capacity by Benni Jorgensen, who rose to prominence as the carver of WO Larsen Straight Grain pipes, along with the pipes made (and continues to make) under his own name. Benni is even part of one of the…

It is a happy irony that Mike Sebastian Bay was introduced to pipe-making by breaking one. After dropping his father’s old Peterson and searching for someone to repair it, he visited the workshop of Tom Eltang, whom Bay had briefly met as a child on a family vacation.

Though he would tragically pass away at the age of 42, Preben Holm was one of the pioneering figures in the ‘Danish design’ movement in 20th century pipe-making – a movement that still dominates the high-grade pipe scene.
