Danish Estates: W.O. Larsen Smooth Brandy Tobacco Pipe

One of the most renowned pipe and tobacco shops in the world, W.Ø. Larsen's workshop famously sat on the iconic "Walking Street" in Copenhagen, Denmark, until 2005. Founded by Ole Larsen, the workshop began producing its own pipes in the 1960s when Danish pipes were gaining popularity around the world. Larsen eventually began hiring artists who would go on to earn reputations as some of the best craftsmen in the world, including names like Sixten Ivarsson, Teddy Knudsen, Tonni Nielsen, Jess Chonowitsch, and Hans "Former" Nielsen.

Showcasing a classic and elegant silhouette, this Brandy is sure to delight admirers of timeless Danish shapes. From a plump heel, the bowl's thick walls gently taper inward toward the flat rim, offering a comfortable grip. A cheeked transition leads to a sleek, arrow-straight shank and vulcanite stem, which slim down toward the bit. The stummel's mahogany stain beautifully highlights swirls of birdseye along the bowl's flanks, with a stylized accent of pale acrylic along the junction for a touch of contrast.
