Finally Got A Deal Nording

[cosgringo]

So my collection (bare at a handful GBD, Sav, Rossi, etc.) got a boost on a "Buy Now" on Ebay. Not sure if I can mention the seller but he came through IMHO. It's not a Dunhill and all that but it's colossal compared to my others which the bowl on my Sav 320 was the largest I had. He really restored it well- Nording. At $45 how can I complain. Will be smoking it in Ouray tomrrow. I have a couple more coming- he helped me on one of them which meant a lot.
Yes, my coffee table is a mess as I was up to 3 smoking this morning.

Wow, very nice. I have been following Nording for quite a few years now, and i have never seen anything like that one from him. Very unique!!

 

[cosgringo]

BTW- this is easily my best smoking pipe now. On my 2nd bowl. No relights. He did an awesome complete restoration.

Nice! Don’t drop it though or it might break your foot!!!

That is an incredible looking Nording! $45 was an absolute steal IMO.

Nice bottle of wine in the background.

I believe it! I'll swear by Nordings any day. All mine are great smokers. Yours is an early Nording from the looks of it, and fantastic. I love it! Congratulations and enjoy the heck out of it!

Now that's what I like. Looks like it was broken off of the root. So natural!?????

Congratulations on your find, she has some very nice lines! Enjoy!

Congratulations, a great smoking pipe at a great price! The two Nording I have are also great pipes.

That one ring around the bowl almost looks like a ridgeline. Like CHasing said, it's just such a natural look. Great stem, too. Sounds like a killer deal!

Sorry folks. Been in Ouray, CO. Brought that pipe. It does smoke quite well- and it's not that heavy surprisingly.
The seller did an awesome restore and it was ready to some on day one.
I think that was an awesome price and he's a good guy who takes what he does seriously (violins and pipe restoration).

Lucky me! I'll find out if he's selling anything if there's any interest and he's cool with it.

All I know is that was the best price pipe for what I have bought since buying pipes TBH. It was every bit as good as he said it would be- and more.

I really had wanted a Nording and I am very happy with this one. Not sure I'll find a better at least in this price range.

Be well.
Oh and yup - @dmcmtk - You obviously know good wine, also. LOL
