'''[[ | '''[[Preben Holm]] AND DANISH DESIGN''' | ||
[[Preben Holm]] was the artisan who made pipes of "Danish design" famous in the sixties. I think he is well-known to most collectors, especially in the U.S., as most of his pipes were sold there. He had a very large production and when he was at the top he had 45 employees and, at that time, he himself only was 22 years old. | [[Preben Holm]] was the artisan who made pipes of "Danish design" famous in the sixties.

The original '''WINSLÖW-pipes''' are of course rather expensive, but Poul also wanted to have some cheaper pipes to offer to his customers. So, some years ago, he started to make a series called '''CROWN'''. He absolutely states that these pipes are no seconds to the original WINSLÖW-pipes. They are just made from a cheaper piece of briar and have an ordinary mouth-piece, not a hand-cut one. From personal experience I can affirm that also the CROWN-pipes are of a very good quality. | The original '''WINSLÖW-pipes''' are of course rather expensive, but Poul also wanted to have some cheaper pipes to offer to his customers.
