    I have two Nording Freehands that are great smokers. I've fondeled several others that I had to pass on. The draft holes were grossly off center, and in one case 1/4" above the bottom of the chamber. No Bueno.
    The last one I saw at a shop in San Diego had the most beautiful grain I've ever seen for a pipe in that price range. I had to have it. Yet after bending 5 pipe cleaners, I just could not get one to pass thru the pipe. I gave it to the clerk to try, and he gave up after 4 attempts. Needless to say, the pipe went back into the case, and I went home empty handed

    It really surprises me to hear that about Nordings. I've always considered them to be a top brand, and can't imagine that something like the pipes you passed on would have gotten out of the shop.

    Right now I have a quality control job for the sixth largest pork producer... Don't worry, no smoking in the hog sites or the processing centers, I get to oversee the cleaning of the trailers for the safety of the animals...

    So if you eat Oscar Meyer or Johnsonville, you can a sure that your pork is healthy... The other white meat

    So my dilemma... I'm out of standard cobs...

    I have either tweaked them, too nice to have in a wash center or I have gifted them to others... I have never been in this situation before I have always had a standard cob on hand...

    I guess I need to buy another cob and leave it as is... Or better yet, I might need to buy a half dozen just in case...

    Your opinion?

    It has a modern look, with the polymer lower receiver (Glock term) with the traditional Briar bowl... If it works it works, if not, someone else will have a gifted pipe

    Bacon is good... As a matter a fact, the company gave me a pound of Apple Wood Pecan smoked bacon for Thanksgiving along with a 5 pound Pork Loin...

    It should be some good eat'in in the near future

    Your opinion?
    It's funny, really,

    For the past 20 years or so the smoking have been forbidden in every building, ship and vehicle where i work (military).
    ...Still everybody does it Not everywhere of course but you can always find a place you smoke without causing non smokers any harm. And maybe not in front of the big chiefs unless they smoke too.
    So the smoking ban is sort of a who cares.

    My opinion?
    Get yourself a new cob or many right away. I could send you one but the ones they sell here are made in the USA so would be no much of a souvenir.
