IPCPR on pipes...

Holy hell its amazing. Now that I know what to look for and what to appreciate there are some amazing pipes. I got to talk to Erik Nording and his son for a good while. I have met him at a few cigar shows for his and rocky stuff. Always a class act and funny as hell.

Luckily it was the end of the day and I got to pick his brain and his sons brain about pipes and the world of pipes. I was bummed I couldnt buy a pipe from them. Anyway...as we parted ways I heard Erik call out my name and he walked over and handed me the churchwarden I was looking at. What a class act. I never in my wildest dreams thought I would be given a pipe...much less from the man himself.

Good times!

I have heard he is a good guy...Him giving you the pipe proves it. My Nording Billiard gets it's share of smoke run through it.

Thats awesome, I'm still a pipe newb, but my new Nording is fast becoming my favorite. Cant wait to see pics of your newly acquired pipe.

oh yea....if you guys ever get to hang out with Erik...he may be 74 but NEVER, EVER challenge him to drinking.

He drank a guy that challenged him under the table. 3 people had to carry the big guy out and Erik was perfectly normal.

Super awesome guy and you'd never think he was 74 for as crazy as he is.
