This is a tough one for me. A large part of me thinks I'd like most to be endorsed by Nording. And then there's Peterson. Two very different, in most cases, styles of pipe, and I love them both. Nording has a functional artistry, which is also very masculine and quite rugged even in the high grade pipes. Peterson, while still quite masculine, has a classy style, but classy for the working man. Now, please nobody throw anything at me for being sexist. That's not my intention. It's only what I personally get from the style. Maybe I'm just weird. Maybe I just want to stand atop a tree I just felled next to the mountain elk I slew with a spear, guzzle a beer, and light fire to a pipe. And after an eagle lands on my shoulder to give me a respectful nod before flying off again, maybe I just want to adjust my loin cloth and shout aloud, "I'm a man, Damnit!" I honestly don't know where I'm going with this now.
