Representing his family’s fourth generation in the tobacco business, Erik Stokkebye has been
immersed in the trade over his entire lifetime. Appropriately, Erik is the founder and driving force
behind Erik Stokkebye 4th Generation tobaccos and 4th Generation pipes.
His family has been entrenched in tobacco since 1882, when his great-grandfather, Erik Peter
Stokkebye, launched the Stokkebye Company in Odense, Denmark. “When he started the
company,” says Erik, “he moved into a four-story building with a factory in the back, apartments
upstairs, and a retail store in front. The factory entrance is actually depicted on the tin for the
limited-edition tobacco we released last year: Small Batch Jubilæums Flake. “The building has
not housed a tobacco shop since the 1960s and is now a women’s clothing store, but it and its
history are intact. The original structure continues to stand today and is an official historic
building. “So it can’t be torn down, because it’s under the supervision of the Danish government,
which is kind of cool.”
Tobaccos featured:
1855 Virginia

1957 Vanilla

Plan to pop in to the shop and share a bowl and some conversation with Erik!
