Damn it, man.
It's taken me this long to figure out that I like the way Savinellis smoke. I don't want to have to buy Nordings as well! You made me skip over to Smokingpipes.com and look at theirs and, wow! Nording makes some beauties.
Then all the other evil tempters start posting about "Nordings are great smokers, blah, blah, blah!" Well, bite me! I'm not gonna buy one, and y'all can't make me. I'm not gonna. Not.
But, I probably will...
Happy birthday anyway.

Thanks again guys. I've been a fan of Erik Nording since the first Nording pipe I saw. After reading his history and interviews, I wanted one even more. Got a hold of this one for $49.99. For the fit, finish, and quality I had to order it.
Come to the N side robwoodall we have the most unique rustication on the market :p (some love it, some hate it) Though Savinelli is on my list of "gotta own one", been eyeing up the Tortugas lately.
I will definitely put up some notes on the sunzabitches once I become more acquainted with it. I've been puffing on it all day through a MM hardwood.No bite issue, but I've learned to be gentle with perique. As a PA broad-leaf fan, I love the pepper it adds to the mix.
It seems to keep bouncing back and forth with the perique to the burley taking lead. The Virginia stays throughout though along with the subtle whiskey(which smells stronger than it translates into smoke, JD or Ezra Brooks maybe!?!).
The perique hits full force on light, but quickly takes its place with the others. I'll go more in depth as I work my way through the can. As they say YMMV.

Great score!
I met Mr. Nording at our Tinder Box 2 years back. He's a very pleasant and fascinating guy. I'd be happy to spend some time with him again.

The wife added these to the birthday.
All original, seals are still in place and supple, and original glass jars in perfect shape. Both aztec disks are in place and whole as well.
One happy piper right here.

This thread inspired me to pick up some Frenchy's from the B&M Friday, which is where I cracked it and smoked it.
So tasty and it didn't bite at me at ALL. It was a bugger to keep lit, though, so I'll be giving it more dry time on future goes.

Thanks 'Lifesize'. Now by my count, I have 7 slots to fill.
Tom, I noticed the first smoke was a bit wet myself. I left the can open for about an hour, almost perfect now. The only bite I got was the first retro... that was all on me though....
