The Elk

[colcolt]

I've been looking at the Nording Hunter Series for the past six months and wondered what you all thought of the Elk. I like the looks and style and assume it would be a great smoker as well. Anyone have one and your comments about it? This one is sold out but I've found another possible source.

I don't have one, but it looks to be a very nice pipe; I do have a nording freehand that smokes very well.

That Elk is a nice looking pipe.

If you like it then that is all that matters. I would ask the seller who ever it is to make sure it is drilled properly and it passes a fluffy pipe cleaner with ease. Nordings are a good quality mid range pipe. You should also make sure you get the exact dimensions so you can determine if it is the right size for you.

 

[colcolt]

I need to search for the dimensions. I didn't see it in the ad.

Very cool, I dig that stem.

 

[vespertillio]

I have one of those coming. It should be here next week sometime. I'll give a report on how it smokes. I definitely liked the stem though mine is smooth. I'll post pics when it comes.

I guess it doesn't matter now. The place I was going to get one told me it was out of stock even though it shows on their website.

Yep Carey's was the one I was looking at. Theirs was $129.95 best I recall. I may check Joes...thanks for the links.

I have one and love it. It's dedicated to Blackhouse. It's 6" long and 2" tall with a bowl inner diameter of 3/4".

 

[redbeard]

Love the bottom of the bowl, never seen a steam like that one...

 

[colcolt]

What's the depth...about 1 5/8"?

Uh, oh...another Blackhouse whore. :D Hear that baron?

 

[philobeddoe]

Yes about 1 5/8" deep.

One of the first pipes I bought was a Nording Partially Resuscitated(sp?) and it's been a great little smoker.It's the one at the top.

I like it Colcolt... question, whats the second pipe in that pic? I really like it! :D

 

[colcolt]

The second is a Winslow-BIG bowl.

I really like the hunter series by Nording. The overall shape of all of them are unique and beautiful. Check out Cigarinternational.com, they have a few there.

I really like the hunter series by Nording as well. But I must say colcott that winslow is a mighty fine pipe. My PAD has kicked in big time!

Like Carey's they're out of stock. This must be a popular series and seem as illusive as a garden nymph.
bigboi, the Winslow is well made and is a fine smoker. It's called the Winslow Crown Viking and the engraving on the bottom of the shank is deep and I doubt will ever be eradicated by handling. At least not in my lifetime.

The Hunter Series of Nording Pipes are amazing. I have a couple as well as 2 non-hunter series nordings as well. The Hunters are amazing pipes. I particularly like the Nording rustication style that is used on the elk.
Cigar International does have a good selection of Nording Hunter pipes, but you dont get to choose the exact one you want like on other sites such as smokingpipes.com. You choose the style such as: Elk, or Bison, or Hare, and then you choose Straight or Bent if those options are available. What it will actually look like is a surprise since you are ordering model and style, not a specific pipe.
