Bjarne made no pipes himself; he was a long time prominent distributor of his own brands of Danish pipes (quite popular in the U. S. A.) and had several Danish pipemakers work for him like [[Johs]] (for the lower priced high volume pieces) and makers like [[Ph. Vigen]] and [[Tonni Nielsen]] for high grade pieces. The cheaper line was stamped "Bjarne" while the highest grades were stamped "Bjarne Nielsen" (never with the pipemakers' name) and graded by the letters: A, B, C, D. | |||
Bjarne was also a 1st class address for lovers of XXL pipes. These were called "Giant". | |||
