Any Other Nording Fans Out There?

I am a Nording fan. I did buy two a while ago from a second hand retailer marked “unsmoked,” that had some issues. On one, the shellac bubbled up on the side of the bowl from the heat. Some Nordings often have a shiny lacquer/shellac finish, not wax that is buffed.

With the other pipe, a dark reddish dye stain came off on the pipe cleaner the first 4-5 times I ran it through the pipe stem, as if it had never dried.

Again, I bought those two from a second dealer, not from a Nording approved retailer and now.guess that they were “seconds.”

That's really strange. I never heard of a pipe make using shellac "inside" the bowl. It serves no purpose and would probably affect the taste. Same goes for dye inside the stem. I can't help but suspect that some restorer/moron tinkered with it to try and make it look new. What a dumbass.

Please re-read my post. The “side” of bowl was lacquered and bubbled up, not the “inside” of the bowl.

Oops! I'm old and confused!

I'm not a Nording owner yet, but only temporary. The more I see them here the more I grow fond of them

I’ve never really seen one that visually appealed to me.

Ah, so the bowl and not the chamber.

I love my Nordings. Very great quality. I guess I'd call my double silver the king.

Cut Smooth Bent Dublin. One of my favorite VA pipes.

I also have a few freehands, and all of them are good smokers...I really like the Hunter series and may have to find one soon!

Peterson only. That might give a hint as to my personality.

Let me guess. You're favorite band is U2.

Their higher grades, which I don't own, look quite nice. But, otherwise, not many appeal to me either. I do have a few of the more appealing mid-grade ones, a large quarter bent paneled smooth freehand with silver and a large smooth with rusticated top quarter bowl tomahawk with silver. It's rustication effect gives it an almost wax drip look.

I have a few and like them.
