 Jorgen's history in pipe making is an interesting one in that, aside from creating one of the first high grade Danish brands (the Jorgen L) and his 30 odd year association with Peter Stokkebye, he was also technical director for both [[Stanwell]] and Kriswell (though not at the same time). A slow and resourceful worker, Jorgen crafts only about 100 pipes each year, with 40% of the work he starts ending up in his fireplace.

+It had been previously report that Jørgen Larsen made [[Mr. Anderson]] pipes. David Field states, "Jorgen Larsen never made Mr. Andersen pipes to my knowledge."
-Jorgen uses only one color for all his work, as opposed to many pipe makers who use multiple stains. The reason behind this, is that this one color most clearly shows the grain, while also showing that there are no defects which have been covered up in any manner. In addition, each Jorgen L pipe develops a beautiful patina as it is smoked, enhancing its beauty even further. Because most of his pipes were made for Stokkebye, the [[Jorgen L]] pipes have become very collectible. His [[Mr. Andersen]] pipes are even harder to find.
 Jorgen is one of the few pipe makers that will repair or make a new mouthpiece for one of his pipes free of charge. The customer has only to pay for one-way mailing, as Jorgen will pay return postage.
