My buddy convinced me to hit the casino with him after narrowly avoiding a car accident on Friday. Blew through a twenty, hit the ATM for another, and hit for $350 bucks. My first decent win.
Immediately cashed out and went online to pick up the 1997 Nording Hunter Goose Sandblast from SP. Spent the rest of the night browsing facebook while he emptied his pockets trying to catch up. I'm not usually one to quit while I'm ahead, but I decided not to tempt fate.
And it's beautiful. And light as a feather. And smokes great (a little hot, but I suspect that's the fault of this AJ's VaPer that smokes hot no matter what I put it in).
Blues4Goose finally found his signature pipe.14826

Gosh I wish I was a pipe smoker when I spent a week winning in Vegas!!! Especially because I spent the second week losing haha! Would have much rather walked away with a grail pipe!

Awesome story and awesome pipe! Congratulations!
My first thought after 'alright I'm done for the night' was 'OH I should buy myself a good pipe!' then i remembered I've been looking at this goose.
I don't know how i would have ended up if we were there for more than an hour though!

Is that a military mount with no metal band or does it have a tenon? Looks great either way and congrats.
It has a tenon, it's actually the same style as all of my other Nordings, sort of a faux military mount. This is my first nording that's not a dublin though. And thank you! Honestly i would've bought any pipe called a goose :ROFLMAO: just a bonus this one looks really nice

I see there are a few different “animal” pipes in series related to yours, very interesting - once again my PAD is tingling.

The “goose” part does indeed seem apropos.
