Take a look at the Photos of Erik Nording Pipe and Cigar Show at The Briary.   Special thanks to Erik Nording from Denmark for bringing his pipe show and cigar tasting to The Briary.  Everyone had a great time smoking their Nording cigars and having their Nording pipes autographed by Erik.

This is Erik Nording holding a pipe he made of stems and pipe bowls.

We have such a large selection of Erik Nording Pipes for you to choose from so we added an additional page of Nordings   Nordings Pg 2

  Erik Nording and I worked together for several months to produce these fantastic new pipes.  The idea for the shape comes from a incredible pipe in my personal collection that Erik made in the 70's.  I had a smooth but felt like they would look great rusticated.  Erik made us six pipes.  Two blonde and four black.  He varied the look of each one to keep things interesting.  I think you will agree that the pipes are nothing short of spectacular. (My pipe is not for sale)

 There has to be a favorite.  This one was mine.  The curve is exactly what I had in mind.  The extreme relief is a combination of rustication and sandblasting.  Notice the extra work on the shank.  It started with a black acrylic ring followed by a off white acrylic band and then topped off with a final black ring.  The fancy stem has a briar inlay surrounded with black acrylic . The stem is curved just right for a perfect balance.  The pipe is rated as a 14.  In my opinion it should be higher.  5 x 2-1/8 inches.

Beautiful one of a kind bent.  Natural blond with deep, deep rustication followed by sandblasting.  The smooth shank is adorned by a black acrylic ring that steps down to a marbleized acrylic spacer.  The black acrylic stem has a sterling silver band around it.  Nicely balanced, this gorgeous pipe will smoke as good as it looks.  Rated as a lowly 14, I think it deserves a higher rating.  6-1/4 x 2-1/4 inches.
