'''''The above is an utter, bald-faced lie!''''' Although he has been a pipe maker for 44 of his 65 years, Jorgen Larsen looks to be around for quite awhile. Some of you may remember his Jorgen L brand, which was started in the 1960's, but more will recall seeing his work as the '''Peter Stokkebye''' pipe, beginning in the 1970's. Now, the Jorgen L brand is back! | '''''The above is an utter, bald-faced lie!''''' Although he has been a pipe maker for 44 of his 65 years, Jorgen Larsen looks to be around for quite awhile.
