Carsten Idskov is one of the few Danish pipemakers who is better known in his own country than abroad. That is because he has taken part in very few international shows, but, on the other hand, he is a faithful visitor to pipe activities in his own country. One of them is the Danish Championship, where every year he puts on a much appreciated exhibition. And he does not depend on pipe-making for a living, so he can do as he pleases. To Carsten, pipe-making is a hobby and he likes to keep it that way.
Today Carsten makes abnout 150 pipes a year. The briar is mainly bought from Kent Rasmussen and, like him, Carsten takes pipes needed to be sandblasted to a workshop in Aarhus that specializes in sandblasting. The stems are made from ebonite, cumberland, or synthetic amber and the pipes are stamped Idskov DK along with the year of manufacture. No grading system is used.
The tooth from the sperm whale is a favorite of Carsten's and is used often used as an adornment on his pipes, but he also uses a lot of silver rings. Carsten not only makes pipes, he is also an active collector with pipes made by many of the best pipemakers. He also takes an active part in the Pipe Blub of Aarhus.
Carstens larger pipes often displays a large shank, but with this pipe he has made a variation. The pipe is elegant and it just looks as an incredible smoker as well. The blast is deep, and the color nuances are brilliant. Light brown, that meets the Cumberland stem, via a beautiful ring of sperm whale tooth.
