I just saw this beautiful new Nording at Pipes & Cigars:

Now if someone doesn't buy this gorgeous pipe in the next 24 hours, my PAD restraint will fail, and I"LL end up buying it, and I can't afford it (although it is very reasonably priced). It is a Nording with black and burgundy stain, partially sandblasted, which is rare, and cost just over $70. Won't someone buy it before my judgement fails and I end up buying it? Please?

The stem alone is a piece of art!

I'd buy it but I'm pretty sure it has "sparrowhawk" stamped on the other side of the pipe.

I say go for it. I've just picked up two new ones last week so I'm set for at least a week or so.

We all know that at this point this pipe is as good as on your door step. Might as well do what everyone knows as inevtiable.
Nods to stvalentine. The stem is gorgeous.

It's like watching someone standing on a ledge and we're yelling "jump!" . . . Obviously we're demented, go for it!

For that money you can't go wrong. Pull the trigger and get it done. Those pipes are very light and smoke great.

I say grab it. I've got one in the $900 ballpark chewing my behind right now. At $70, you won't be digging out of the hole for very long. Very attractive offering from Nording.

We will add your TAD and PAD distinctiveness to our own. :rofl:

I couldn't resist...I pulled the trigger...darn you all....I want donations to cover the cost of this pipe!

Actually, I got it because it fills a gap in my collection: A large chamber, not as big as a giant, but larger than the regular pipe. And a unique sandblast over freehand work. At least I have a rationale.

It appears you have been saved sparrowhawk. Just think what would have happened had you not purchased that pipe. No need to thank us! :wink:

PAD is a strange thing...one of my lesser favored pipes apparently fell from my pocket during my travels the other day, and the first thought that popped in my head when I discovered the loss was "I get to buy a new pipe now!"

I just got a call from Paul's Pipe Shop that they are sending me a shell grain with a deep green translucent stem. I have sung the praises of the Cayuga line of pipes at Paul's in other places, thinking I'll never have to buy another pipe that isn't a Cayuga, then comes along this Nording. So now I'll have two pipes to add to my earlier haul of two pipes from Paul's and the entire set of Cobbits. But I'm gonna beat this PAD, I really am, really I'm going to...no thanks to you guys!...six pipes, and it's not even the middle of the month...Argh!

PS: ,,,and five tins of Molto Dolce and two tins of H&H Caramel Apple Pipe. I'm doomed.

Six in one, is that a forum record? I've only bought 2 this month.

I'm usually able to hold off a couple of months between pipes, but then the PAD makes up for it when I do purchase a pipe. I was hoping to build a pipe cabinet this spring designed for 35 pipes. Now I'm wondering if that's going to be enough. On the other hand, I do sell pipes that have lost their attraction for me, so i'm hoping that somehow it balances out.

35 pipes won´t be enough, remember you´re doomed! My cabinet has room for 60 pipes and I already run out of space. If I don´t start to sell a few estates this weekend I will have a very hard time to come up with a rational reason to buy more estates. 8O
P.S.: We´re all doomed.... 8O
