Nørding: Erik The Red Smooth Bulldog Tobacco Pipe

A more traditional, compact design from Erik Nording, this straight Bulldog embodies classic shaping compared to the Danish carver's typical fare of Fancy Freehand designs. It's part of the Erik The Red series — a line of pipe-chart standards priced for budget-friendly, workhorse enjoyment — and features the Bulldog's characteristic diamond shank paired to a plump bowl with upward and downward tapers delineated by a subtle ridgeline. Dressed in a rich, ruby stain of handsome grain contrast, it's then fitted to a stylish stem that bears a number of expansion rings at the base for a touch of Danish Fancy style.
