'''Jørgen Larsen''' lives in a village of 600 people, '''Almind''', '''Denmark''' - about 5 miles from Kolding, home of another famous Danish pipe maker, [[Kurt Balleby]]. Although the two men don't work together, they occasionally share a bag of Corsican briar. | '''Jørgen Larsen''' lives in a village of 600 people, '''Almind''', '''Denmark''' - about 5 miles from Kolding, home of another famous Danish pipe maker, [[Balleby Pipes|Kurt Balleby]].

Jorgen's history in pipe making is an interesting one in that, aside from creating one of the first high grade Danish brands (the Jorgen L) and his 30 odd year association with Peter Stokkebye, he was also technical director for both [[Stanwell]] and Kriswell (though not at the same time). A slow and resourceful worker, Jorgen crafts only about 100 pipes each year, with 40% of the work he starts ending up in his fireplace. | Jorgen's history in pipe making is an interesting one in that, aside from creating one of the first high grade Danish brands (the Jorgen L) and his 30 odd year association with Peter Stokkebye, he was also technical director for both [[Stanwell]] and Kriswell (though not at the same time).
