St. Louis Pipe Show - PAD 1 of 4 - Nording

[lifesizehobbit]

What happens when you save up money specifically to attend the St. Louis Pipe Show? Serious PAD. EMTs were called, but it was too late as I succumbed to a 4-Pipe Event over the weekend. I’ve split the PAD report into 4 Posts just because of the picture content.
WARNING: Not responsible for any PAD related symptoms you may experience from reading these posts.
Offering Number 1 - A Nording "Calabash" Briar from an Estate group. I was not able to locate any model or date as the stamping simply read NORDING, Made In Denmark.

Nording makes nifty pipes at all the price levels. This one is eye-catching. I don't think I'd gravitate to that shape bowl except for that exquisite stem and shank extension. This pipe really brings all of its elements together in a most unusual but successful way. PAD-ho!

Beauty of a pipe! The color and grain just pop. Congratulations!

An interesting Nording. I love it! It's always good to add another Nording to the herd. Enjoy the heck out of it
