| Top Pipe Smokers Pipes Jorgen L |
Jorgen L
Although he has been a pipe maker for 44 of his 65 years Jorgen Larsen looks to be around for quite awhile. Some of you may remember his Jorgen L brand, which was started in the 1960's, but more will recall seeing his work with the Peter Stokkebye pipe, beginning in the 1970's. Now, the Jorgen L brand is back!
Jorgen Larsen lives in a village of 600 people, Almind, Denmark- about 5 miles from Kolding, home of another famous Danish pipe maker, Kurt Balleby. Although the two men don't work together they occasionally share a bag of Corsican briar.
Jorgen's history in pipe making is an interesting one in that, aside from creating one of the first high grade Danish brands (the Jorgen L) and his 30 odd year association with Peter Stokkebye, he was also technical director for both Stanwell and Kriswell (though not at the same time). A slow and resourceful worker Jorgen crafts only about 100 pipes each year, with 40% of the work he starts ending up in his fireplace.
Jorgen uses only one color for all his work, as opposed to many pipe makers who use multiple stains. The reason behind this is that this one color most clearly shows the grain while also showing that there are no defects which have been covered up in any manner. In addition each Jorgen L pipe develops a beautiful patina as it is smoked, enhancing its beauty even further.
"I am only interested in making pipes that satisfy customers."
