W.Ø. Larsen

W.Ø. Larsenwas oneof the most famous tobacco shops in Copenhagen, with a beautiful store locatedon Copenhagen\'s famous \"Walking Street.\" During the flowering of theDanish pipe in the \'60\'s, they first began retailing pipes by such carversasSixten Ivarsson,Sven Knudsen,Poul Rasmussen,andBrakner.

Urged on by his store manager Sven Bang (S. Bang), the owner, Ole Larsen,decided to begin making pipes in the basement of the shop. He first hiredSven Knudsenas thepipe maker, who soon passed the job to his protégé Hans “Former” Nielsen. Larsen’sfortunes rose along with the rest of the Danish pipe business, and Former wassoon managing a group of carvers in the old Larsen cigar factory. Among thesewereTeddy Knudsen,Tonni Nielsen,Jess Chonowitsch,Peter Hedegaardandothers, who were responsible for the Select and Straight Grain series beforethey branched out on their own. After Former left to start Bentley pipes inSwitzerland, his duties were taken over by Soren Refbjerg Rasmussen, while thestraight grains were made by Teddy’s student Benni Jorgenson. As Ole’s healthbegan to fail, the reins were taken over by his son Nils. Nils became convincedthat the way for Larsen to prosper was by entering the low-end market, andacquired the Georg Jensen pipe factory to make an array of less expensivepipes. This turned out to be a fatal error, and Larsen was recently sold toStanwell, who continue to produce so-called “Larsen” pipes in their hugefactory. Thus ended an important of

Danish pipe history!
