Like many other people of my time, I started to smoke at the age of 14. In that summer I had my first job in the long school holiday. By chance it was at the importer of Orlik pipes in Denmark. During these few weeks I was so tempted by the nice flavour of tobacco that hung so heavily in the air, that I had to try pipesmoking, and before I left the job, I had bought my first Orlik pipe, just a cheap one and a pouch of Red Orlik tobacco. | Like many other people of my time, I started to smoke at the age of 14.

In the following years I tried quite a lot of different tobaccos and pipes of various quality. I never got the first class [[Orlik pipes]], and I never got my [[Comoy's]] Blue ribbon, but I got a very nice [[Pibe-Dan]], and later on a couple [[Dunhill|Dunhill´s]]. After finishing school, at the age of 17, I got a job in the workshop of [[Erik Nørding]], who at that time had around 6-7 people in his workshop. Two of these have later become well known of their own, [[Poul Ilsted]] and [[Tao]]. I have regarded Ilsted as a friend since then. One more person from Nørding's workshop at that time did make a further career, allthough very short, Peter Rafn, who became [[S. Bang]]´s first pipemaker. | ||

In the following years I had worked for [[Preben Holm]], and here again with two people who has made their own name: Per Hansen (S. Bang) and [[Poul Winslow]]. After a short period there, I changed to Larsen & Stigart, now almost forgotten, but among other things they did manage to supply Dunhill with wild danish fancy pipes. I had a very short period with Zettervig and finally came to W.Ø.Larsen. A lot of well known names have passed through [[W.Ø.Larsen|W.Ø.Larsen´s]] workshop, in my time it was Ilsted, [[Tonni Nielsen]], [[Ivan Holst Nielsen]], [[Ph. Vigen]]. | In the following years I had worked for [[Preben Holm]], and here again with two people who has made their own name: Per Hansen (S. Bang) and [[Poul Winslow]].
