Former Pipes

Ask connoisseurs of the pipe scene about well-known names from Denmark and one name is almost always mentioned early: Hans Nielsen, better known as Former. For more than six decades, he has dedicated himself to pipe making and, with his brand Former Denmark, has played a key role in shaping the Danish tradition. His designs consistently follow the natural grain of the wood and emphasize practical elegance – resulting in pipes with an excellent reputation.

As a mentor to numerous well-known pipe makers and thanks to his high standards in craftsmanship and selection, Former pipes are now considered highly sought after worldwide.

At Rauchr, we are very pleased to be able to offer you a selection of these exceptional pipes, which were personally chosen by Former for our assortment.
