In 1978 [[Viggo Nielsen]] sold his previous business to a German tobacco manufacturer and he began making the '''Faaborg Pipe''' together with his two sons [[Jørgen Nielsen]] and [[Kai Nielsen]]. Even when Viggo had reached the age of retirement, he could not quite leave his workshop and he still made about 100 pipes a year, some of them based on the famous "Fåborg Pibe" but also a few "Jewels of Denmark", until he passed away. | In 1978 [[Viggo Nielsen]] sold his previous business to a German tobacco manufacturer and he began making the '''Faaborg Pipe''' together with his two sons [[Jørgen Nielsen]] and [[Kai Nielsen]].
