2005 Nording Hunting Pipe Estate Briar Pipe Unsmoked

Description

Nørding was founded by Erik Nørding in the 1960s, and is one of the oldest remaining companies to come out of the Scandinavian pipe-making renaissance that began in the mid-20th century. Now in his 80s, Erik Nørding is one of the most experienced and skilled pipe-makers in the world, and over the decades he has also been a teacher of other Danish masters, such as Poul Ilsted, Svend Axel Celius, Jens Tao Nielsen, Peder Jeppesen, and Søren Erik Andersen.

This Hunting Pipe from Nording is quite special. Let me explain. Since 1995, Erik Nørding has created a limited edition pipe to celebrate his love of wildlife and the great outdoors. These are Nørding’s famed ‘Hunting’ series, conceived in collaboration with Danish wildlife illustrator Mogens Andersen, with each drawing inspiration for its design for a particular animal. But this Hunting Pipe is from 2005, i.e., the 10th anniversary of the Hunting Pipe series. While it was still designed by Mogens Andersen, it was not inspired by any particular animal, but was meant to evoke hunting in general. Andersen dubbed it, “The Hunter’s Pipe,” with the intention of it being a “classic Man’s Pipe”; it is a broad and muscular billiard, with an old-world, amber-like stem and a sterling silver collar reminiscent of a shell casing.

This Hunter’s Pipe happens to be completely unsmoked, with an original bowl coating from Erik Nording’s workshop. This should help ease in its first smokes.
