Nording Compass Metal Pipes

[BROBS]

Lol ?
You might actually be right about that as Nörding according to what I've heard has moved most production from Denmark to Poland.

I have one of the full briar ones. It smokes “ok” but do have a bunch of the same problems mentioned above. It also has some of the same benefits that others have mentioned. It really reminds me of some of the gear that I was issued in the military, cheaply made, half ass uncomfortable to use, has some handy aspects but will for sure get the job done. Wouldn’t spend the money to buy one again though

For the money I’d get a Falcon pipe personally as you can then buy more bowls for the one stem. ?

Thank for your opinions. Compass sized like my Savinelli 109 but little longer and metal version has more weight, feeling more substantial.

109 gives me an hour or so of slow pleasant smoke doing better with ribbon cut than with flakes to avoid getting too hot.

Another option I wanted Nording Valhalla 302 carved- short and a little bigger bowl. Let see there are many options for small, inexpensive pipes for example Rossi piccolo or Butz choquin lines.

In this case, metal doesn't really equate with more solid/substantial. The metal in the Nordings is super light aluminium.

Then again, when it comes to pipes, light as a feather is preferred to solid feeling, specially if you're a clencher.

I've been eyeing the Valhalla line for quite some time, but the poor quality of the Compass I bought has made me hesitant on buying another Nording—and their vulcanite stems don't endear them to me either.

So I have just received my pipes first bowl in the broad one is nice. Light and easy to clench good smoker so far will let you know when I smoke the metal one

I dig Tankards for some reason.. not sure if it's the popeye look or what, but it's a simple, functional shape that sits easy, and is usually lightweight for clenching. Some of these kind of remind me of a simplified Dunhill Duke.

Smoking the metal one and is is surprisingly cool. I really expected some heat transfer but it is very cool and a great smoker. I thought they looked great but was worried about the actual smoke but it is a nice smoker

Good deal man! Plus you’ve got a set which helps my compulsiveness. ?
Phfwew. Good thing.
