I just bought 3 pipes. One is a Nording-I'm very familiar with the brand, and I have faith that it will be just as wonderful as my other one. One of the others is an Erik Stokkkebye 4th Generation 1897. Any info? I also bought a Mushin meerschaum. I've never smoked a meerschaum before; any helpful hints concerning meerschaums, and this maker in particular would be helpful. Thanks!
