Erik Nording 2024 Hunter Series The Longhorn Smooth Tobacco Smoking Pipe

A collection of one of a kind handmade briar pipes from the world famous Erik Nørding of Denmark. These great Danish briars are comfortable and smoke beautifully! Many different finishes highlight this well made line of pipes and no two are alike. Nording was born in Denmark and originally educated in engineering. Pipe carving only began as a hobby but as time went by, he became more interested in it as a profession. During the last 40 years he has built his own business, which produces approximately 50,000 pipes a year. Erik Nording has been called the “Ernest Hemingway of pipes” because he's an avid sportsman and has a huge collection of hunting trophies; everything from a grizzly bear to a tiger shark. As an homage to these animals, Nording releases a Hunter Series every year. Free-hands are given their basic shape on a fraising machine. The stems are all hand cut, though they are made in an assembly line style, thousands at a time, to save production costs. After they are roughed out, freehands are given individual shapes on sanding disks, then finished in a variety of colors and fitted with vulcanite stems. All pipes are handmade in Denmark. Inspiration for the pipes in our Hunting Pipe series is taken directly from wildlife and nature, especially from conspicuous animals with unique and recognizable “features” – and not necessarily a huntable animal. In 2024 our inspiration comes from the fabulous Texas Longhorn – an American breed of beef cattle, characterized by its very long horns and its diversified pattern and coloring of the hide. The hide colors vary from an all-over pattern of black and brown spots to large patches of brown surrounded by black spots on the light hide. The shading and combination of colors means that no two are exactly alike. The horns are often very long. They can span more than 8 ft (2.4 m) from tip to tip. The shape of the horns is often in the form of a long gentle curve from the head to the tip – similar to the stem of a typical “Churchwarden” pipe. We have sourced briar blocks with a grain pattern simulating the random pattern of the hide and we are stating in a matching color-scheme to “imitate” the Texas Longhorn – and of course, our choice stem has a look similar to horns of the Texas Longhorn. Longhorns are usually very calm and docile by nature – virtues that characterizes the smoking-style of a Churchwarden pipe, also known as a “Reading-pipe” or an “Armchair-pipe”. We hope you will enjoy many relaxing moments with your Nørding Hunting Pipe 2024.
