You can't go wrong with a Nording. Erik Nording is the Picaso of freehand pipes. The quality in them is amazing. I bought a Signature Freehand partially rusticated a few months back and it's the best smoker I have. It never gurgles, smokes nice and cool (and I smoke only aromatic blends so that says something), and it has the best draw out of all my pipes. Another bonus for it is that it's the only bent pipe I don't have to remove the stem to clean the shank. Nothing left to do but enjoy that pipe when it arrives. Congratulations good sir.

I'm not a big freehand fan, but I love the grain on that. The color contrast is really cool.

I've got a lot of great burners but my one Nording crosses the line and is "wonderful."
Cheers to your, brother.

Made by the only pipe maker I know who has his own bobble head. He has been making pipes a long time.
Just pulled this from the internet, I didn't realize he had such a large business:


Erik Nørding was born in Copenhagen, Denmark.

Originally educated in engineering.
Pipe carving began as a hobby, but as time went by, he became more interested in pipe making as a profession.
During the last 40 years Erik Nørding has built his own business, which today produces approximately 50.000 pipes a year, 90% of which are for the export market.
That's a lot of pipes per year.

I do appreciate all the great comments here. I've always heard how great Nording pipes all and everyone of you here have contributed to confirming all I've heard. I sure hope SP.com processes/ships the order today, if so it should arrive Monday Thanks again all.

Nice pick. My Nordings are a first pickup for me when I want a nice long smoke.

New briar in places and burl veneer, Cherry chamber tapered from 7/8" to 5/8" at the bottom. Side walls are about 1/4". Plateau shaved off. Original ferrule is under the veneer. Used JB Weld. Handles 600 degrees. No glue anywhere near tobacco. No thin briar anywhere. Pipe is the original full size freejand type, about 5" in length. Might go for another 50 years!
Check my album if the pics don't load.
