Nording 2006 Hunting Pipe Rusticated Bent Estate Briar Pipe, Unsmoked [SOLD OUT]

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.

Since 1995, Erik Nørding has created a limited edition pipe each year 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 Hunting pipe, from 2006, is a curious design, displaying a side profile much like its inspiration; a plump, squat bowl, a long beck, and an orange ‘beak.’ The pipe is rusticated, but has patches of polished smooth, including on the rim, and a spot carving of a turkey on its fore.

This Nording is completely unsmoked, with an original bowl coating from Erik’s workshop to help ease in its first smokes.
