The German company Charles Fairmorn was a Hanseatic consortium whose roots are said to go back to an old Lübeck tobacco import company. His business field was the import and distribution of tobacco, cigars and pipes. A few years ago the Danish pipe maker [[Åge Bogelund]], in whose hands many of the pipes sold under the name [[Bari]] were made, made a small number of freehand pipes for Charles Fairmorn, mainly in straight and flame grain and Light Finish.<ref>https://www.falkum.de/pfeifen/pfeifen-nach-marke/charles-fairmorn.html </ref> | |||
This company was first founded in Hamburg in 1978 and moved to Dingelstädt / Thuringia in 1996. In 2005 a sales cooperation for the German market was established with Woermann Cigars GmbH, Rödinghausen. Another move to Lübeck in 2006 was accompanied by a name change to Charles Fairmorn International GmbH. A cooperation partner for the Bari pipe brand was also found in the company AKRA, Langenzenn.<ref name="cigar-wiki">https://www.cigar-wiki.com/Charles_Fairmorn</ref> | |||
