Got My Nording Today

[cynyr]

Friends, I am proud to present my new Erik Nording Freehand Aristokrat:

These are the seller's photos, but I can't do any better. I have it in my hand, it appears to be very lightly smoked or even unsmoked altogether. I'm a happy dude today!

That is one fine looking pipe. ::

Thanks, guys. I'm proud of her! There is a small faded patch at the front, apparently the pipe was on display somewhere for a long time. But it takes a flaw to highlight perfection. :P

Cy that is one good looking pipe, I have a L'Anatra that has that top treatment , the shape is really cool, being a Nording it's a winner. The old cajun

Nice. I really like the look of that pipe :D

One of my favorite pipes. They just feel good in your hand. I just purchased a Giant by Nording. Haven't smoked it yet, but looking forward to it.
Your Nording is a fine looking pipe. Is that your first?

A beautiful piece of functional artwork, what a collectors dream! Grats.

Lovely. Hope it smokes as good as it looks. Although with the name Nording on it I'm sure it will.

Beautiful

Very nice. that is a beautiful pipe. Enjoy!

Thanks to all. It's my first Nording, as well as my first real "name" pipe. I know, you can't smoke the name, but it appears to be perfectly drilled and is a substantial piece of wood, so the odds are with me.
Thanks for looking!

It's beautiful. Please report back after your first smoke.
My one and only Nording is one of my most prized possessions - mainly because it was a gift from my sons. But, damn, it's a superb smoker.

Wonderful pipe. I've said it before, Nording is the Picaso of freehands. I love my signature of his, it smokes like a dream. Enjoy!

Sweet looking pipe, my friend. Bet it smokes well too. I know I thoroughly enjoy my Nordings, they are great pipes!

 

[rev413]

Very Nice! Let us know how it smokes!! :puffpipe:

 

[cynyr]

Thanks again for looking, everyone. I'm proud of her!

2.) How does it feel to know that this post will most likely go toward furthering somebody else's PAD this weekend?

Not too bad, really. I'm just passing on the Nording PAD I caught from anthonyrosenthal74 in this post. (I hope he gets his hands on a nice one!)
I'm gonna fire it up in the morning. :D
