As many of you know I had some pipes stolen earlier this year. The response from the brothers on the forum was amazing and I received many beautiful pipes to help me rebuild and recover from my loss. One of the pipes that I lost was a Nording Bear which had been gifted to me by Bradley aka The Old Cajun. I hadn't had it very long. I had seen a Bear a couple of years before at the Briary and it was a pipe that I loved at first sight and feel, Bradley knew this, had one and sent it to me. When it was stolen I was very upset as you can imagine and I actually searched the web looking for another, but I only found 2 both in Denmark. And those quickly sold before I had the chance to order one. Then one day Bradley contacts me and asks me if I'm home. I wasn't. He said I should get home quick and check the mail. When I opened the box I found a cylindrical box and upon opening discovered a brand new Nording Bear which he ordered just for me from Denmark. It was a kingly gift. What a thoughtful friend. It is my favorite pipe and gets smoked more than any of my other pipes. The hunter series come with a drawing of the pipe and the animal they represent. Stateside ones are in English, but mine is in Dutch. I finally got around to framing it and I included the stamps from the package. Here are a couple of pics and the pipe. Thank you again my friend!!!
