| As a student, made a "pilgrimage" to Copenhagen in a Citroen 2 CV. Bought and marvelled at Larsen and Bang, was bowled over by Anne Julie. Scrimped and saved.

| Wallenstein ceased to sell his pipes directly to his customers. On the occasion of the 30. Inter-tabac Fair Dortmund, September 19. - 21., 2008 '''[http://www.otto-kopp.de/ Otto & Kopp]''' of Offenbach took over the worldwide distribution of Wallenstein pipes (excluding the USA). - Foreseeing he will also cease to introduce new pipes on his website. A real pity, because this will make it really difficult for the customer to come to know which pipes are actually available and where.
