Allergies now interfere with Larsen's pipe making. He sold his factory in 2005, and is no longer making pipes. As of May, 2015 he is 73 years old. He and his wife are enjoying life and live throughout the summer in their summer house on the Island of Fyn.
An allergy to briar dust has been an ongoing problem during Larsen's pipe making carrier and likely contributed to his decision to sell his pipe making factory in 2005. As of May, 2015 he is 73 years old and no longer making pipes. He and his wife are enjoying life, however, and live throughout the summer months in their home on the Island of Fyn.
