Former Pipe Blasted Horn



About the maker:
Hans "Former" Nielsen is among Denmark's most respected carvers. Shapewise, the pipes stamped as Handmades are more conservative than the Freehands, but considered equally desirable. In terms of execution, Former is one of the world's top pipe makers, and his sense of proportion is perfect. With over four decades of experience, Former is able to produce meticulously engineered and innovative pipes. Only the finest materials are used to make a Former pipe and include hand picked aged briar of the highest quality, Sterling Silver, Exotic Woods, German Ebonite, and Horn. At the age of 15, Former started his career as a pipemaker repairing pipes for Poul Rasmussen's Pipe Shop in Copenhagen, Denmark. After a two years repairing pipes, Former worked with Sven Knudsen part time while retaining a machinist job. In 1962 after his Military Service, Former went to work at the W.O. Larsen Factory, and he quickly moved up to supervisor. He taught and worked with many of the top Danish Carvers throughout his time at Larsen and was in charge of quality control in the factory. Currently Former is producing his high grade hand made pipes, and also he produces the Bently line of high grade factory pipes with his wife Daniela.
Former's more than four decades of experience is evident in the quality of each pipe.
The innovative design, the extraordinary finish and the detailed engineering all guarantees a remarkable experience when smoking one of his pipes.
Former is proud and confident of his work - and he should be. Each pipe is the best that he is capable of.

Anlässlich eines meetings des International smoking Saloons auf facebook besuchten wir unter anderem auch die Pfeifenwerkstatt von Former. Dabei sind 3 kleine Videos entstanden, die wollte ich euch nicht vorenthalten....

Hans Nielsen ist eines der Urgesteine des dänischen Pfeifenbauerhandwerks, der Mann arbeitet sage und schreibe bereits 52 Jahre als Pfeifenbauer.......
