Nording Hold Em Queen Smooth Spigot Horn Estate Briar Pipe, Danish Estates

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.

Nording’s Hold ‘Em series is one of quintessentially Danish designs, each complemented by a spigot mount. True to the name, the pipes are graded using playing cards. This is a Queen grade Hold ‘Em with a smooth finish, rendered in a horn shape and dressed in a red-black contrast stain.

The condition is great. There’s a small amount of rim darkening, but nothing major.
