Thanks to this forum I am now the proud owner of a new Nording Singature Cherrywood. I don't think I have ever been any more excited to take a new pipe out of the box even though this is one of the least expensive pipes I have bought besides cobs. I don't think the picture actually does it justice. It feels absolutely great in the hand and is also an excellent clencher. I can't wait to see how it looks after it begins to darken from use. thanks for continuing to enable my PAD guys!
