Nording Guinness World Record Pipe

This is interesting, I didn’t know pipes were being taken off and being sold.

Enjoy!

That's the nice thing about being a younger fellow. I get to buy estate pipes for what you all told the wives you paid for them.

Okay, maybe you meant something else. I really don't understand what you said here.

You didn't know pipes were being sold? I figured that was how most people acquired pipes. Is there another way that doesn't involve larceny?

I just assumed that was a pipe taken off the big pipe and sold is all I meant.

Ah. I get it now. That's pretty much what I thought when I bought it. Hence my "low grade pipe in a fancy box" and "marketing stunt" comment in my original post.

No, the 'Nørding Guinness World Record Pipe' series pipes are 'smaller' replicas of the original pipe, according to Mr. Nørding.

My pipe is a poor replica if he was going for a true copy. It's not as bent, for instance, as the one (suspected) non-freehand version I've found, or the original record-breaking pipe for that matter.

The original world record pipe is still in one piece, and still shows up at events and shows from time to time.

I ought to post this as a caution and warning. This is the fourth unsmoked pipe I've owned. The others got smoked.

This one won't be, not by me, at least. I have continued to display the iron will and fierce resolve I'm known for. Lol.

I of course hunted down a substitute pipe.

This one, unfortunately, wasn't made by Erik, but is the same shape, and is a Nørding grade 02 sandblast 'Scandinavian Original,' an uncommonly seen line. It also has a flush stem mount, and is as close a duplicate as I could find. It ended up costing me a penny less than the other pipe after shipping.

I'm not saying that this is a healthy or rational response to this situation, but it's how I dealt with it.

Nice clencher. More bent than the other, and with a shorter bowl. It's a nice pipe shape and a good alternative pipe to smoke.
