Winslow Crown and Nording

[mihailo]

Hello again, I was wondering if anyone has any experience with either of these two makers, I have been looking at some of there pipes in addition to Peterson and Savinelli, and wanted to know how their quality compares?

Have a Winslow Crown 300 dublin that's a really great smoker. No Nording experience though. Several forum members have them and love them.

ok, yah I want to expand my collection so I can have a small rotation, rather than just having a MM, and my savinelli 504.

but soo far its looking like its down to Savinelli: Oscar Tiger Rusticated (315 KS), Winslow Crown Smooth Bent Egg Sitter (200), Chacom: Sandblasted (269), Savinelli: Roma (673 KS), Peterson Premier Smooth (80s) (P-Lip), Savinelli: Roma (623), or Savinelli Roma (904 KS). some of the hardest decisions in life.

You can't go wrong with Nording in my opinion. Great pipes from the low cost to the high cost.

Don't ever doubt a Nording.
Even the low ends - like mine - will still give you a rock solid smoke.
Erik Nording is a craftsman but he's also a mechanic.
I admire him immensely.

I have a Winslow Crown 200 and it smokes very well. It's also a near flawless piece of briar for not much money.
