Thanked: 45I 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.

Well I found this on eBay last night, so I pulled the trigger at $20.00 shipped... I figured that it could make a good work pipe for that price...
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
Oh, and I did order a MM Washington alsoLife is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated...

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.Last edited by Sailor; 11-20-2014 at 06:15 PM.
