  This year the Danish pipe maker Hans Nielsen – better known as “Former” - can celebrate his 50th anniversary. The official date will be 18.09 2009 where Former will attend the “Inter-Tabac Dortmund”, the International Trade Fair for tobacco and smoking accessories. On Formers website you will find a small video-clip, a historic slideshow and the anniversary posters to download. You will also find the full story about former (by Smokingpipes.com) Former has made a very limited edition of his favorite shape – the small Apple. There will be 50 numbered pipes in the series, in blast, flame and a light stain. All pipes have a nice Horn ferrule on the shank and comes with a handmade tamper (by Larry Faulkner) in a very nice leather pipe bag with room for the pipe, tamper and tobacco. The bag is in soft high quality leather and supplied by Al Pasciá. |
