Nording Valhalla Spigot 351 Sandblasted Bulldog Estate Briar Pipe, Unsmoked, 9mm

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.

Erik Nording’s Valhalla series is one that has gradually emerged from various designs he’s made over the decades. Much like the Silver Classic and the Erik the Red series, the Valhalla is comprised of shapes that are relatively traditional, but with a distinct Danish edge to them—one cultivated from over half a century spent in the pipe industry. As its name implies, the Valhalla Spigot adds a spigot mount to the shapes of the Valhalla series, with this 351 model being a compact, lightweight bulldog with a nicely weathered looking, slight contrast sandblast finish.

This pipe is completely unsmoked, with an original bowl coating. The pipe is chambered to allow for the use of 9mm filters if desired.
