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. | 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).

The synonym / trade name '''Mr. Andersen''' was occasionally used after 1980 by Jørgen Larsen - mainly for his exports to the USA. In Germany Mr. Andersen pipes were not available, since the name Andersen was protected for [[Søren Eric Andersen]]. | |||
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. | Jorgen uses only one color for all his work, as opposed to many pipe makers who use multiple stains.
