Nording Pipe of Year

second. The first was the '96. This year's is based on the Beaver, and it's
nice. When I went into my pipe shop to get tobacco, the owner was smoking the
pipe, and lo and behold, the Nording rep was there. I placed my order right on
the spot!
It had bamboo in the stem, and smokes like a dream. My questions is, does
anyone have information on the other Nording hunting pipes? What does anyone
else think of this one?

putting them in the den. I have the sika, beaver, and canadian goose..My
only complaint is that the walls of the beaver seem fairly thin as I prefer
them much thicker. Being a bit smaller they fit my hand well. I am a great
fan of Erik Nording and have one other freehand of his which does indeed
smoke well. I would love to meet him!! Lucky you. Mary

Christmas day to fire them up. (This is a difficult task I should add).
I also have the 1996 Sika deer pipe which I smoke on a regular basis.
Between the '97 & '98 I think the '97 will become my favorite because of how
well it fits in my hand.
I wasn't smoking back in 1995, but I keep an eye out for that years pipe and
will hopefully find one at a resonable price.

Erik is a very nice, if quiet, gentleman. About 6 months ago, one of the
local tobacconists had him and Peter Stokkebye out to the shop. Peter did a
~ 20 minute presentation on tobaccos, and how they're grown and "processed"
for pipe tobaccos. Pretty interesting.
Erik was there with a _bunch_ of pipes, in varying grades. His English was
a little broken, as I recall, but a great guy. He had two variety of the
hunting pipes there, including the goose. They were quite striking, and the
paper with the description was the capper. Wish I'd had the money to buy
one, then. I ended up with a large orange and black freehand, with a
squarish, smooth bowl and an unfinished top. When I went to visit my
parents (with pipes, of course!), my mom commented specifically on that
pipe. I'm usually not one for freehands, but it was a heck of a deal for
what I paid for it.

Canadian Goose. I Don't know whether I will be buying this years. The idea of
the hunting pipe to me was a stout pocket pipe that could be carried about
outdoors. The new pipe, the beaver does not seem to be keeping with that
theme. It appears to be fairly large and somewhat fragile. On the other hand,
if I do not buy the beaver I know that I will always regret it so I had better
call my tobacconist and order it. I can picture myself in twenty years saying
"I have the whole set except the 1999."
Best regards,

yes, the beaver does seem fragile, but it smokes quite well...does anyone know
where I can order past pipes of the year?

capped off by what appears to be silver with a military mount. Very nicely
done. The Canadian Goose is a 1/3 bent apple (very Danish looking) with a
military mounted stem. The unique part of this pipe is that up by the top of
the shank Nording has inlaid two connected white patches in the shape that can
be found on the goose. Really hard to describe, kind of a figure- eight with
the circles on the sides. I think they can be seen at FF Piber. Also Pipes &
Tobacco magazine has displayed them over the past few years. PipeSmoke has
also shown some of them. The Pheasant is one sharp pipe.
Best regards,

The Goose is shown here www.wwi.dk/priv/ff/andre26.htm and maybe also
