In 1970 the factory introduced a series of 8 porcelain pipes in classic shapes including a billiard, zulu, bent billiard and the like, as well as the very popular Golf Ball. Initial production resulted in complaints from customers regarding stem fit, as the initial traditional stem tenon loosened during smoking, allowing the bowl to fall off. After switching circa 1972 to a reverse tenon this problem was solved. | In 1970 the factory introduced a series of 8 porcelain pipes in classic shapes including a billiard, zulu, bent billiard and the like, as well as the very popular Golf Ball.

With these three pipes, one from [[Lars Ivarsson]], and four more purchased from Micke, the line was expanded. | ||
