Nording 2004 Hunting Pipe Partially Rusticated Cobra 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. This particular Hunting Pipe draws its inspiration from the deadly cobra; its bowl has been shaped to resemble the snake poised in its attack position.

Nording’s Hunting Pipes, especially older models such as this one, tend to be quite difficult to find. This makes it all the more remarkable that this one is completely unsmoked.
