Nording Compass Rusticated 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.

Just like fellow Dane Tom Eltang, Erik Nording has his own line of hyper-functionalist, stripped down briars in the form of the “Compass” pipe. Starting from the basic idea of the poker shape, Nording combines briar bowls with aluminum shanks and acrylic stems, creating something lightweight enough to be a comfortable clencher for anyone, while also being a reliable sitter.

This pipe is completely unsmoked, with an original bowl coating.
