Former`s Pipe Tobacco

Former pipe tobaccos are inspired by classic Danish blends and are aimed at pipe smokers who appreciate the natural character of the tobacco. Naturally sweet Virginias take center stage, with subtle flavoring or none at all. The range therefore offers different options for enthusiasts who prefer more natural, tobacco-forward pipe blends.

Former Pipe Tobacco and the Connection to Dan Tobacco

Behind the range is Hans “Former” Nielsen, an influential figure in Danish pipe making. He developed his own production methods and passed his knowledge on to numerous pipe makers. His long-standing friendship with Dan Tobacco eventually led to the creation of pipe tobaccos produced for him by the specialists in Lauenburg. Stylistically, the blends remain closely connected to the Danish pipe tobacco tradition: Virginia forms the base, while Latakia adds extra spice and depth to selected varieties.

Danish Pipe Tobaccos for Fans of Natural Blends

The range offers different interpretations of this straightforward style. Particularly noteworthy is the Former Private Flake, which Former himself prefers. As a Flake, it is an interesting choice for pipe smokers who enjoy the preparation and slow smoking of pressed tobacco. The other blends in the range follow the basic theme of Virginia, subtle flavoring and, in some cases, Latakia, offering a small journey of discovery through traditionally inspired Danish pipe tobaccos. Those who are less interested in pronounced flavorings and more focused on the character of the tobaccos used will find a suitably oriented selection in the Former range.
