(The next time I drop by for some tobacco I'll take my camera and post some pixs.)įrom everything I've heard and read Preben literally drank himself to death. The owner also possesses one of the most beautiful free-form carvings I've ever laid eyes on that was a gift from Holm. Apparently they were pretty close friends: calls, letters, visits at trade shows and they even vacationed together. One of the owners of my local B&M gets downright misty eyed when he talks about Preben Holm. I see I may not have answered ol' Noble's question, but yes, the key to getting a Holm era pipe is the 'Made In Denmark' stamp. I never looked at other pipe makers very seriously ever since that first Ben Wade. My first expensive pipe was a Golden Walnut I bought in 1977.

The grain, stain, shapes.I don't know why, but I love 'em all. They were pumping out a lot of pipes at the peak of the freehand/Danish revolution and I think the QC got away from him at somepoint. I have one that smokes wet and gurgles like an aquarium bubbler. Sometimes they have a generous draw and other times they won't pass a cleaner without noodling it around a bit. Most are on the heavy side if you are a confirmed clencher. Typically, they will have wide, deep bowls that hold a lot of tobacco. My experience is that some of the pipes are good smokers and some are not.

Holm marketed a bunch of different lines.all with different names (see Cortez's post).
