I had the opportunity to meet Erik Nording (of Nording Pipes) last night. I was incredibly impressed how down to earth and passionate about pipes he was. He is very personable and also has a great sense of humor. I had a great time talking with him, learning something new about pipes, and smoking them. I ended up buying a pipe that I absolutely feel in love with. He had some beautiful, unique pieces with him in a small carry on type suitcase. Here is a couple pics of last night's trunk sale with Erik Nording. :-)

My new pipe. According to Erik, he only made 100 of these, which he sold all of the first day of the trade show.

I have 3 of his pipes, and they seem to fit me well. I feel good when I hold a Nording.

I know that feeling. I am holding my other Nording in the photo. It is a signiture series, with a natural finish. I love the craftmanship in the Nordings. :-)
