Just got this billiard less than a week after ordering it from the Danish Pipe Store. I was so amazed at the workmanship and artistry that I just had to show it off!

Very cool Sparrowhawk. What/who is the brand or carver? Also interested in what that vendor is like to deal with.

The Danish Pipe Shop was great to deal with. And they delivered this billiard in less than a week! I'm still waiting for US orders I made the same day. The Shop has a remarkable selection of Nording pipes, not to mention other Danish pipes; you could easily go broke buying pipes from them.
Ha ha, excuse me sir, but if he turns that pipe over it will be marked 202, of which I have three exactly like this in every detail down to the patterns in the rustication.
What do you think it is?

These are sort of like his cheap production pipes. I really like them a lot. It has a nice feel to it as you clench. I picked up a few of the 100 series also, but I don't recommend them. You can't tell from the pictures online, but they look like a smoldering hunk of doo doo as you smoke it, lOL.

Well, that sounds kinda cool, even though they list it as part of their new "Numbers" line. Oh well.
I'll tell Erik Nording about it when I have dinner with him in a few weeks. I'm excited about getting to meet him. I have a bunch of his pipes.
You'll be expected to give us a full report on the show and your conversation with Mr. Nording, you know. :lol:
Welcome to the forums Nikodemus. I take it that you've been here at least once since 2011.
I'm dying to know what you thought this pipe was.

Very nice Sparrow! You gotta love Nordings, the quality you get for the money is incredibly hard to beat. Congrats on your new Nording!
Very cool, Sparrow. As I don't really care for straights (although I do smoke one lent me by Fnord that I like a lot lol) and I don't really care for rusticated pipes either, I can't help but like the look of that Nording. It has the look of lava flowing over volcanic rock. Super cool.
That's exactly, no kidding, the analogy I thought of when I saw this billiard, kind of a primal volcanic image.
@blueeyedogre, check out his bulldogs in that line. I have the 101 and 501 in the Valhalla line, and both are amazing smokers, very affordable. They cake up very fast. I am going to have to ask Nording about what he does to the chambers, because I had cake after burning just two bowls of Virginia in them. You can practically just light them and set them down, and they'll burn to fine ash without having to touch them. And, the aroma of the briar is that of very aged fine briar, similar to what I get in unsmoked antique estate pipes. I give these products duo thumbs up.
Congrats again, brother.
