Nording Royal Flush Ace... It's Here!!! Pic Heavy

[ahpui]

Brought a similar one, the jack range. I believe it is smaller compared to the Aces and rustication at the bent.
Real nice pipe and real light.

Anthony:
LMAO!
Not at the pipe - which is drop dead beautiful - but at the way you took us all through the arrival and opening.
However, there are two pix missing: the one of your mailbox and, finally, that smouldering burner hanging out of your cakehole.
In a hundred years I hope your grandchildren will still be smoking this burner, Anthony.
Fnord

Wow!

 

[brdavidson]

Beautiful pipe Anthony hope she gives you many years of enjoyment.

Super pipe. Birdseye Grain Galore. Congrats. :clap:

 

[cigrmaster]

That is a beautiful looking pipe, great shape, awesome grain and birdseye, congrats. I hope it is a great smoker for you. It was worth the wait.

 

[anthonyrosenthal74]

Very much worth the wait Is it weird that even when not smoking it, I keep picking it up just to hold it and look at it?
Fnord, I'll have to remember to post a pic of me puffing away on it next time I light her up. I would indeed like to leave my pipes behind for someone, but at 39 years old with no children of my own yet it's not looking like I'll have kids, much less grandkids. But you never know.

A pipe like that? Not at all. That's a really nice pipe and I bet it smokes like a dream. The only Nording I've smoked was perfectly drilled with a very open draw. That one is a real looker. Thanks for sharing the pics.

 

[anthonyrosenthal74]

I didn't expect to see this thread open again
Pitchfork, the new pipe is indeed drilled perfectly, with a good open draw. And it smokes pretty good so far. I'm sure she'll smoke even better once I break her in a bit

Glad to hear it.

 

[pitchfork]

The first time I smoked a Nording -- with it's nice, easy draw, was when I first realized how pleasurable a well made pipe could be. Before that, I had only smoked Grabows, basket pipes and my then new Peterson, which had a very restricted draw (I've long since opened that baby up).
What do you like to smoke in yours, Anthony?

 

[kashmir]

Gorgeous chunk of briar, and real fine staining to bring out the grain. Sounds like you're breaking her in nicely too. Congrats.

 

[anthonyrosenthal74]

The first smoke, Pichfork, was Captain Black Dark mixed with a bit of Black House. I've discovered the two go very well together.
And thanks, Kashmir.

Whoa Anthony that pipe is a seriously nice looking piece! I am a big fan of his black grain line and that reminds me of it...is it a black grain?

However, there are two pix missing: the one of your mailbox and, finally, that smouldering burner hanging out of your cakehole.

:rofl:

 

[wyfbane]

I love the shape of that pipe! Nice Score.

 

[patiobum]

Very nice pipe !!!

 

[durham270]

She is a beauty! Very nice pipe and now what blend will you be smoking in her?

 

[jeepnewbie]

Very wonderful looking pipe, I really love that shape it has. Congrats, and enjoy.
