Bennington Tobacconist (Must be 21+)

Smooth finish, half bent, lucite stem.

Karl Erik Ottendahl was born in Aalborg (Jutland), just a few miles from the very northernmost tip of Denmark.

He began smoking a pipe when he was 14 and upon leaving school he started an apprenticeship in the craft as a lithographer at the age of 16. While working as an apprentice he began hand carving pipes as a hobby. Many were given as gifts to his more senior colleagues. Upon completion of his apprenticeship he moved to Nairobi, Kenya to work as a lithographer during the 1962 war. While in that war torn country, he was unable to procure pipes for himself. In the face of such a predicament, he chose to continue to make pipes for his own use rather than go without.
