Tom Eltang was introduced to Anne Julie at the age of 16 and showed her some of the pipes he made, so an apprenticeship was set up (this was back in 1974). After working with her for 3 years, he worked for Pipe Dan doing repairs and making some pipes, and later for Stanwell. Since 1980, Tom has been making pipes under his own name in Copenhagen, Denmark.

Today, Eltang is considered by many to be the most talented and prolific pipe maker in the world, and his influence cannot be understated — with many younger artisan pipe makers owing their foundational skills to Eltang's tutelage. He produces smooth pipes and sandblasted pipes, and his rusticated finish is especially renowned, alongside his signature Poker rendition. Having created a design language unique to himself, Eltang crafts shapes that honor classic Danish pipes while also drawing influence from other artistic, like Danish Functionalism. Above all else, he prioritizes harmony and balance in his compositions, ensuring that every line, curve, and proportional relationship remain cohesive and coherent.

Eltang's finest pipes are delineated by his Snail grade, with his most exceptional works also marked by an "M" stamp.
