In 1978 [[Viggo Nielsen]] sold his previous business to a German tobacco manufacturer and he began making the '''Faaborg Pipe''' together with his two sons [[Jørgen Nielsen]] and [[Kai Nielsen]]. Even when Viggo had reached the age of retirement, he could not quite leave his workshop and he still made about 100 pipes a year, some of them based on the famous "Fåborg Pibe" but also a few "Jewels of Denmark", until he passed away. | In 1978 [[Viggo Nielsen]] sold his previous business to a German tobacco manufacturer and he began making the '''Faaborg Pipe''' together with his two sons [[Jørgen Nielsen]] and [[Kai Nielsen]].

The Faaborg Pibe is sculptured by hand, from the best materials. Each piece of briar was carefully selected and seasoned before shaping began. By following the structure and the fine grains of the briar root the pipes were formed to become the pride of any particular pipe owner. They offered both sandblasted and smooth finashes. | The Faaborg Pibe is sculptured by hand, from the best materials. Each piece of briar was carefully selected and seasoned before shaping began.
