I would like to thank Ranger107 for this surprise gift. Its a Erik Nording pipe stand and a nice tamper. What really makes this special is many many years ago I had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Nording when he was in Phoenix hitting a lot of the local shops doing a road show. I want to say the year was 2003. The pipe on the stand is the one I purchased while he was there. He gave a very good presentation of his business and outlook on the pipe industry at the time. Ranger107 also gave me nice sample of Newminster No. 400 Superior Navy Flake. Kudos to the Ranger. Thank you again.
