Erik Nording Hunter Series

Briar works great as a tamping surface.

Right.

I believe those were a Mcclelland product.

Yes. The blends were made by McClelland. I don't know if McClelland owned the recipe or not but the blends went away after they closed down.

Guys, can we please stay on point.
I was asking about Erick’s Hunter series of pipes. Not the Hunter tobacco.

The thread title didn't specify pipes and a McClelland tobacco name is going to attract the most attention. When I first read the title, I thought it was the tobacco as well. Considering the two go hand in hand, the conversation is going to evolve to include both.

 

[Honkytonk Man]

No the title didn’t.
But, it was in Pipe Talks. Hint?
Without wanting to appear ferocious.
I guess my inexperience is showing and, I should have specified pipes at the intro.

I have 2 of his Quail pipes, small but good smokers!

Many go to New Posts before clicking on the topic tabs. Some even reply to the title without reading the first post.

Were there as many blends in the series as there are pipes?

I’m sure guilty of that, myself!

I mean, this guy is making pipes, and all I’ve seen are sub 200 bucks.
Darnit, if a handmade pipe ain’t worth that……

There are several carvers you can get a quality pipe from without breaking the bank. My current go to artisan hasn't charged me more than $170.

My wife gave me a Zebra Hunting Pipe about six or eight years ago. This is a long-stemmed Dublin with carved "zebra stripes" on the bowl and shank. It was quite a bit more than I usually spend on a pipe for myself, so it was a really nice gift. And, it is a fine pipe, has borne up well over time, darkened a little in a pleasing way, with a plentiful chamber and light weight for its size. I highly recommend it.

Yeah, he tossed it in with it though I already had already cellared more than enough of McClelland blends long before they closed.
