Former-Eltang Pipes

Former-Eltang is, rather unsurprisingly, a collaboration between two of the biggest names in Danish pipe making, Tom Eltang and Hans 'Former' Nielsen. It also supersedes the old Sara Eltang brand that Tom made (along with assistants at various times), but using Former's shaping machines. Like its predecessor, the Former-Eltang line offers top quality Danish shaping, finishing, and engineering at a very reasonable price. Employing their decades of experience as top artisinal makers, paired with the experience both have with factory-made pipes, they've managed something quite extraordinary: pipes of high end, handmade quality, but at prices commensurate with those one would expect from a factory-made brand.
