I had the opportunity to meet Erik Nording (of Nording Pipes) last night. I was incredibly impressed how down to earth and passionate about pipes he was. He is very personable and also has a great sense of humor. I had a great time talking with him, learning something new about pipes, and smoking them. I ended up buying a pipe that I absolutely feel in love with. He had some beautiful, unique pieces with him in a small carry on type suitcase. Here is a couple pics of last night's trunk sale with Erik Nording.
My new pipe. According to Erik, he only made 100 of these, which he sold all of the first day of the trade show.
