Bjarne made no pipes himself; he was a long time prominent distributor of his own brands of Danish pipes (quite popular in the U. S. A.) and had several Danish pipemakers work for him like Johs (for the lower priced high volume pieces) and makers like Ph. Vigen and Tonni Nielsen for high grade pieces. The cheaper line was stamped "Bjarne" while the highest grades were stamped "Bjarne Nielsen" (never with the pipemakers' name) and graded by the letters: A, B, C, D.

Bjarne was also a 1st class address for lovers of XXL pipes. These were called "Giant".
