Erik Nording Freehand Rustic Pipes

Nording Freehand Rustic Briar Smoking Pipes:
Freehands are often something of a speciality to Pipe makers as they take time, great skill and experience to produce well and this isn't as profitable as mass production of standard shapes. However it is something Erik Nording and his carvers have perfected over the years with the majority of their pipes being one-off freehands.

The Nording Freehand Rustic Briars are Large pipes with good deep bores perfect for a long evening in front of the fire. The briar walls tend to be thick so the pipe will stay cool and yet they are remarkably light due to the quality of the Briar Erik Nording uses. The bowls have a stunning, unique Satin and Sandblasted finish, which shows off the raw natural beauty of these quality Briars. Each pipe is signed off personally by Erik Nording and include his signature as a stamp of approval.

Churchwarden vs Standard Size:
There is no hiding from it Churchwarden pipes smoke cooler and sweeter ........ so why would you go for a standard sized pipe. Well a churchwarden isn't exactly pocket friendly.
So, do you go small and convenient, large and restrictive or empty your wallet with the expense of two quality briar pipes? No you buy a Nording as every Nording shank is drilled to the same size on every pipe meaning you can fit one of their standard stems or a churchwarden. We supply the pipes with a standard stem and the churchwarden stems can be bought separately.
