History

Bjarne Nielsen war born in 1941, pass away on February 26, 2008, at the age of 66. The pipe community lost one of its greatest characters who loved and lived pipes.

He loved pipe since he is studied at the University of Copenhagen, Denmark, and later working for the Danish Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Because of his passion of pipes and also he loved indeed with pipe, he left his promising career in the Ministry office and decided to concentrate on his pipe business in 1973.  He got a support from his family about his decision.

He became a full-time pipe-maker, and he decided to find some pipe-maker to help him. During the first years all of Bjarne’s pipes were sold in the United States of America.

He also has tried so hard to get another market and that will need some innovation.  It is clear after he visited a pipe show in Frankfurt, Germany, at the end of 1970s.

He realized that the European market is different with the United States market, Germans market wanted a complete different style of pipes, it is prefer to the traditional shapes.

Since then he decided to produce a new lines on his production of pipes. That is a broad mind decision and it proofed that until now Bjarne pipes still have a good market around the world.

It is also selling on the online shops…….
