I got this from the GF for Christmas. :dancing: She did a great job!

I love the looks of it and am looking forward to breaking it in over the weekend.

Beautiful wood (briar?)!  My first thought when I see a grain pattern and color like that is "Wow!  What a knife handle I could turn that into (or pistol grips)!"

That is a nice gift.    :shades:   I like the pipes that dip down so that they are not in your line of site.  Your tobacco selection looks as impressive as, well, your other tobacco selection.
I'm right 98% of the time.  Who cares about the other 3%?

I feel the same way about bent pipes, but they are harder to clean than straight pipes.

Thanks everyone! I am so excited, I haven't had a new pipe for about 4 years.

She told me I had too many cigars but not enough pipes. :biggrin:

This is my first Nording pipe and I can tell it will be an excellent smoker.

Wow, that's a great looking pipe!!  Can't quite make out the inscription on the neck ... who's the manufacturer?

Have fun breaking it in!

I have found over the years of smoking that if you run a pipe cleaner down the bit every couple of minutes while smoking it the after cool down
clean up is minimal.

I am not very savvy wrt pipes.

Does a Nording smoke any different than, say, a Savinelli?
The second law chases us all.
In most realms, tranquility comes from ownership.
Order ensues when everyone totes their own water.  
Stand firm, and never let the bastards grind you down.  
Life's arc is primarily charted between ones ears.
Good judgment comes from experience, and a lot of that comes from bad judgment.
Heaven is where the police are British, the lovers French, the mechanics German, the chefs Italian, and it is all organized by the Swiss.

Handmade pipes are like handmade cigars. Each manufacturer follows a basic plan and then adds their
own little touches to make it their own. Some smoke great and some smoke bad.

I have a Savinelli that smokes great and one that smokes rough.
I have a couple Petersons that smoke excellent.
This new Nording smokes like a champ!
My most expensive pipe is a Luigi Viprati 4 clover and it smokes mediocre.

That's one handsome pipe.  The benefit to pipe smoking is that you are only wasting a little tobacco if you get called away and have to put it down.  With a cigar, its either toss the remainder of it out, or if you don't, the re-light is never quite the same.

Enjoy that, Kyle!

I have a 500 series Meerschaum in smooth finish that I use for aromatic tobacco.

Pipe looks verry nice Kyle.
But I really liked the name "Wish Stealer". It had a Native American ring to it. -Brlesq

A wise geek once told me that moving up from a daily smoke to a weekly or even bi-monthly smoke would be worth it, if I could learn how to appreciate a really really good cigar. -southernrun

I can't go back to briar, no matter how beautiful the carving. I find it too harsh. I use either hand-carved meerschaum from Turkey or a cheap corncob, both preferably with filters.

Now I'm thinking I'll have to try a Meerschaum. A local guy sells some cool looking ones.
