Monday's Haul

[sparrowhawk]

Just as I was walking to the door (for the 10th time this morning) to see if my delivery had arrived yet, the USPS truck pulled up. Great timing! It had my supply for Molto Dolce, without which I cannot live, and my new acquisition, a Nording Jack--a Dublin rusticated horn. Always wanted one. I thought it was small at first, then compared the bowl to other pipes, and realized it wasn't that small after all, just an illusion of size because of the horn. But here it is, another masterpiece by the grand master, Nording.

That is by far, the best horn I have seen in a very, very long time.

Great buy.

 

[sidious]

That is a great looking pipe. Yet another one to add to my list.

 

[sparrowhawk]

I've been looking for the right horn for awhile before this one came along, and I just had to pull the trigger, as one of our friends says. I don't think pipe makers are taking proper advantage of the possibilities of the horn shape.

Good looking pipe. I have a Jack horn that was gifted to me by another member here. The chamber is really deep. Smokes like a champ. Enjoy!

 

[layinpipe]

Good looking viking horn ya got there, sparrow! Oden approves and grants you admission into Valhalla! :clap:

 

[lawmax3]

Very nice pipe. I like the rustication.

 

[sparrowhawk]

I thought this looked like a Viking's pipe as well; now all I need is a broadsword. I've had time to smoke this; with the deep chamber, it smokes great despite the appearance of a small size. This is going to be a good pipe for traveling, too.

Great pipe... haven't seen one like it. I love the color and grain!

 

[layinpipe]

Are you referring to travelling to, pillaging and destroying foreign lands in your longboat? If so, forget not your trusty shield and helmet, sparrow.

 

[kanaka95]

That's a nice Monday present.smoke it up.

 

[petes03]

Excellent Nording Sparrow, congrats!

 

[sparrowhawk]

I can't believe how well this pipe smokes: I must attribute it to the fact that it's a Dublin. My only other Dublin is a great smoker as well. I'm gonna start looking out for Dublins in the future.

Okay, umm, I just had a Smeagle moment at the sight of that pipe. I think I shall rename it.......my Precious. Mwahahaha!!! ......okay back to planet Earth. Seriously though, absolutely magnificent pipe!

 

[sparrowhawk]

I talked to SP this morning about the pipe, thinking I might get another later (I will occasionally get a duplicate of a pipe I like a lot) and they at SP said this was a new pipe, that they probably will get more down the pipe later. So this wonderful Nording will be available to all you wannabe Vikings, like me. Excuse me, I'm gonna go off my longship to invade Detroit....well, that may not be a good idea...St. Clair Shores sounds like a more prudent place to invade...

Yes please do stick to St. Clair, as i do believe it is a tad safer place to plunder.
Very nice pipe BTW.

 

[bulletsnbriars]

Wow, Im not a big fan of horns, but that is one gorgeous pipe. Hope it continues to smoke well for you!

 

[sparrowhawk]

Well, tiag77, we don't have to announce that to the world, do we?

 

[peckinpahhombre]

This pipe does catch my eye. The rustication really suits it.

 

[plateauguy]

Good looking pipe!
You described it as a Dublin Horn - now I'm confused again! I thought I'd finally figured out the Dublin - Zulu thing and now this!
