Nording Natural Smooth Freehand 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.

These days, Nording makes freehands in a vast variety of styles, often with highly innovative rusticated or carved finishes. But when the grain is good, sometimes it’s best to let it be, applying a simple, natural finish to let its patterns do their thing. This would be an example of that philosophy.

This pipe is completely unsmoked, with an original bowl coating. It comes with its original sleeve.
