Milan Tobacconists - Any thoughts on this company?

[sean81]

I have been looking far and wide to find a churchwarden to add to my growing collection. I have found several very nice looking Nording Churchwardens on Milan Tobacconists website. I was wondering if any of you have ever ordered from them. Are they a good trustworthy company? Their prices seem (as far as I can tell) competative with the likes of P&C and Cup O' Joes; but I have yet to see anyone mention of them on this forum. Any ideas?

I ordered some Stonehaven from them- no muss, no fuss...They did a good job...

I ordered my first pipe rack from them and they were good. Nice prices and the shipping was fast.

Never ordered from them, but I know they've been around for some time. The impressions I have of them are good. Not that that helps much. . .

I order from them occasionally, better prices on Nording than anywhere else I've seen. Good aros too. But, they aren't sponsors, so we can't talk about that :wink:

Good tobbaco Shop.

They are a sponsor.

I've ordered 2 Nording pipes and a pipe rack from them, all on separate occasions. They actually called me for my first order to straighten out a credit card issue (I put the wrong billing address). They have been the only online company (not just tobacco) to do this. I greatly appreciated it. I consider it similar to cashiers looking at the back of my credit/debit cards for the signature (I write "see ID") and then asking to see some ID.
Their prices on tins aren't great, I'd like to get into more of their house blends. The only one I've tried so far is an aro Buddy's Blend. Very smooth toasted chocolate flavor to it. Mild and satisfying.
So, I have nothing but good things to say about them. And the gentleman I spoke to about my first order says the name is pronounced like "my-lin"

I might also suggest their Black Forrest aromatic. If you want a sweet aro with an awesome taste of tobacco and a hefty vitamin N kick, it has an aged maduro leaf in the mix that really plays nicely on the tongue, while giving off an excellent room note. I've tried samples of their cavendishes and non-aros, but aromatics are about all I would suggest from them.

I know several folks that order there regularly and love them. Personally, I plan to try them out as soon as all things "line up" to make an order from them.

 

[sean81]

Awesome. Thanks for the helpful input.

 

[edgreen]

I've had many orders with them and find them efficient and truly caring about your order.

 

[sean81]

After several days of deciding and all of the helpful input, I have finally placed my order an Erik Nording Churchwarden. I'm looking forward to giving it a smoke.
I still haven't figured out how to post a picture in the forums, so if someone wants to provide me with some instruction, I'll post a pic of me new pipe.
Thanks to all!
