Why do you start making pipes when you have passed 50 and have been a successful businessman during your whole grown-up life? The explanation is found in a brochure from the beginning of the 60’s, in which Arne tells us about himself. Please read it carefully!

'''Arne Ljung''' died in 1998, 85 years old. He had then suffered from cancer for more than 30 years, but not until the very last year he was too weak to work. There are not many of his pipes left here in Sweden, as the main part was exported. Most of his pipes are probably to be found in Japan, where Arne more or less became a legend and huge prices were paid for his work of art. | '''Arne Ljung''' died in 1998, 85 years old.
