W.O.Larsen

The W. Ø. Larsen shop at Amagertorv 9, Copenhagen, has been known to pipe lovers for a long, long time. It is the same location where Wilhelm Ockenholt Larsen opened a cigar speciality shop in 1864. Eventually, W. Ø. Larsen became internationally recognised for its excellence in pipes, pipe tobaccos and cigars. Niels Larsen´s father, Ole W. Ø. Larsen, is a talented designer who began producing pipes in the early 1950s. And it didn´t take long before demand for his pipes outgrew production capacity. Therefore, he created a small workshop in which top Danish pipe makers would design their own wares for W.Ø. Larsen. This arrangement continues today. Niels W.Ø. Larsen is a seasoned salesman and speaks several languages fluently; and his pipe makers deliver superb quality - something that ultimately reflects the treasured reputation of the W. Ø. Larsen pipes. Presently, W. Ø. Larsen´s production consists of three series - each one a benchmark for quality.
