JESPER OF DENMARK 56
Denmark
Classical upper middle grade Danish pipe designed by Jørgen Larsen. Jørgen worked for Stanwell from 1965 until 1969, and started making his own line of pipes in 1970. He also made pipes for Peter Stokkebye for about 25 years. Concurrent with his pipe making, Jørgen was also employed as an officer in an Arrest (jail) for 24 hours a week. Aside from creating one of the first high grade Danish brands (the Jørgen 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). In 2005 Jørgen sold his pipe factory and is currently not making pipes. The pipe has been restored to order.
