Nording Signature 1 Year Later

[papipeguy]

I bought this Nording Signature in Aprill 2012 for my 60th birthday. It's a bit over a year later and it's starting to gain some "character" as the color blooms.

Overall, I'm pleased. It smokes great and in a nother year it should look even better.

That's a great looking pipe. I really like the rugged-ness of them.

Jah76, the Signatures are great pipes and for under $100 they are hard to beat.

You know the price keeps dropping on them too...
I'm a sucker for unfinished pipes.

I love the way it's coloring in, shows the grain very nicely. I may have to get my hands on one of those, IIRC I saw them on a site for $65, you can't beat that on a new one.

I have 2 myself and they are both fantastic pipes. Great picture

Beautiful color transition so far

I love the shape of that particular pipe. They're all different, which adds to their desirability ...but yours is among the best I've seen lately.

Did you wax or oil that pipe?

 

[papipeguy]

Cortz, no oil or wax. What you see is the natural coloring from smoking the pipe. My hands are very dry so it is what it is. The pictures make it look klightwer than it actually is. I'll post it agian in another year. I only smoke it about once a week so it gets a good rest between smokes.

I love mine. I haven't had mine a year but it's darkened about that much. Maybe darker.

Thats coloring nicely! I'd like to get a natural finish eventually, I like how they color similar to a meer

I love his "Black Grain" pipes.
