Here's the pipe I mentioned earlier. What a monster! What do you think? This morning I broke down and smoked it, making any return impossible. It smoked like a dream for a good thirty minutes. Notice also the flat bottom, making it a good sitter.

Hi Sparrow,
Who cares what anyone else thinks? If you like the pipe and will use it, what else matters?

Thanks for the encouraging words, gentlemen. I appreciate it, and I'm a bit more comfortable now in owning this handsome, albeit large, pipe.
I saw some giants like that at the Briary event. They are nice looking pipes and despite being so large we're only around $200 which I thought was a steal.
Who cares what I think...I do...and she looks like a real sweetie. My first pipe had a bottomless pit of a bowl. I still have it and love it...it's an old Brigham Mountaineer #347 rusticated. Not nearly as sophisticated as your baby. And as a new Nording owner...I get it.
Congrats!
Congrats!
Very nice Hawk!
You said the first 30 minutes smoked well. How about the last 30? I love Nordings but found they smoke better with Erik's stones at the bottom of the bowl as it keeps it for getting too wet and gurgling. I use the stones in all of my bent pipes except my meers which don't need them.

Tomorrow I believe I'll post a pic of the most remarkable plateau I've ever seen from this pipe. It looks like streams of chocolate covered lava pouring into the chamber. And thanks again for all the great complements on the pipe. I'm comfortable owning this pipe now--and I can always use it as a defensive weapon. :D
Very nice. It makes me think of Chocolate Lava cake. I'd recommend Two Friends' English Chocolate.
