Nørding: Signature Partially Rusticated Freehand Tobacco Pipe

Erik Nording's Signature line consists of pipes wearing dual finishes, with dark areas of rustication poised against a virgin, matte finish. The series began with the Danish pipe maker shaping pipes at shows, then signing the unfinished briar simply as a souvenir. Shape-wise, the towering, floral-like bowl and paneled shank boast plenty of fluting ridges and channels for added textural and visual appeal. The virgin surface should darken with the warm tones of patina as the pipe is smoked over time.
