Nording 402 Handmade Smooth Estate Briar Pipe, Unsmoked

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.

Nording’s Valhalla line is comprised of a series of shapes that Erik has tinkered with over the course of his career, culminating in designs that are slightly traditional, but with a palpable Danish touch. The Valhalla “402” is a stout and slightly plump brandy shape, featuring an acrylic ferrule, a matching black acrylic stem, dark, slight contrast finish.

This pipe is completely unsmoked, with an original bowl coating. Some scratches on the bowl and slight handling marks.
