W.O.Larsen W.O.Larsen is Denmark's oldest and probably most well known tobacco shop in the centre of Copenhagen. The owner, Ole Larsen began making high end pipes back in the 1960's and soon was employing some of the best pipe carvers in the world. After Ole's health began to fail, the reins were handed over to his son Nils. Nils becam convinved that the way for Larsen to prosper was to make an array of less expensive pipes. This turned out to be a fatal error and Larsen was recently sold to Stanwell who continue to produce Larsen pipes in their factory. Thus ending and important part of Danish pipe history.

9mm Absorbent Filter The Larsen special edition 2015 is designed for use with the absorbent 9mm Filters. The larger diameter allows more smoke to pass through the filter, with less restriction, which makes for a better draw compared to the 6mm filters. The 9mm pipe filters has a very high surface area resulting in excellent absorption of the tar as the smoke passes through without affecting draw or flavour. No mess no fuss, simply throw the filter in the bin when it turns a dark brown colour. The pipes have a standard 9mm bore so can be used with any brand of 9mm filter if preferred. Alternatively the filter can be removed altogether for smokers who prefer a totally unrestricted full on smoke.
