Nording

[Mr Peat]

My first one was handed to me by Eric Nording last year. I smoked it on the 1 1/2 hour drive home after meeting the man in KC. We discussed a pipe I wanted him to make and he said he would do it. I shall know in Sept when he comes back to KC if he remember to make it.

The cigar didn't blow me out of the water but I wouldn't mind smoking more of them as they was pretty pleasant with very little maintenance on it. So if you ever get a chance to meet him, I'd recommend it as he is one cool old man.

I saw the Nordings at a local B&M a few months ago, and when I found out they were made by RP I was intrigued. Last week I had the opportunity to sit down and have one at the local shop. I don't recall which one, but it was a corona. The construction and burn were excellent, but the flavor did nothing for me. I will have to try another just to be sure, but will probably chalk the Nording as not to my taste.

Oh well, RP certainly makes other lines I really enjoy and it was well worth checking out.
