Actually, not even on my radar, because I have been searching out larger bowls, not micro bowls. But, since Erik is coming to visit again at The Briary, I wanted to check out some of his new ideas. The last few times I have met Erik, he told me that he has not been making pipes for a few years, except to "piddle around." But, his son and grandson Knud and Victor have been handing the business.
But, the newest line of pipes are that he added a spigot silverwork to his Valhalla Line and this new Shorty... or, if it is not new, I have never heard of it previously.
But, the colors... and the whole premise of a "shorter" smoke.
I know others have mentioned looking for a smaller pipe for cigarettes length smoke (20 minutes?) Maybe someone on here is looking for a pipe just like one of these.
But, the spigot Valhalla line looks more promising to me. I have several of the first Valhalla designs, and I really like them. I also really like that he has standardized his stems, so that if you ever have a problem with a Valhalla stem, the company will send you a new one, for a price.
Anyways, if you are in the Southeastern area of the US, The Briary in Homewood, Alabama, just south of Birmingham, on Saturday, Feb 29th, drop in and hang out with Erik Nording. He will have a huge selection of his new pipes. I may pick up a spigot, but I am definitely not interested in a Shorty, ha ha.
