Danish Estates: Nording Smooth Tulip Tobacco Pipe

A pioneer of the Danish Fancy Freehand movement, Erik Nørding has been producing pipes since the 1960s, and his decades of experience are evident in every pipes he crafts. A handsome showcase of Nørding's style, this striking Tulip boasts a tall, supple bowl that rises at the fore of a lengthy diamond shank and a sleek saddle stem. Said bowl boasts softly contoured insulating walls that rise in an arcing flare from the firm heel to the plateau-crowned rim. The rim's rugged texture and the shank's firm, structural lines lend striking contrast to the shape's silhouette, while the stummel's warm smooth finish highlights healthy grain across the briar's surface.
