Merry Christmas to me

[Rob_In_MO]

A little Erik Nording PAD for the holidays, and to celebrate my picking up the pipe again.
Now to load it up with some RLP-6.

That's a nice looking pipe, Nording is on my list to buy

Thanks. I picked it up at Tinder Box in Fairview Heights, IL.
I shouldn't have, but it was sitting on the shelf - surrounded by basket pipes.
I felt it needed a good and loving home, so off we went.

It's my first Nording, and very well worth the investment.
It's a wonderful smoker and should last me a lifetime and beyond.

Nice looking pipe. Well, if that pipe was sitting on a shelf surrounded by basket pipes, it was probably
calling your name!!!

I hate it when those pipes start calling my name! Occurs way too often!!! Merry Christmas to you and your new Nording!!! FTRPLT

Thanks all! It's a wonderful smoker and the situation worked out well for all parties involved.

"And beyond..." I found a former Catholic priest in Hibbing, MN who makes wood caskets. At age 76, I'm thinking of supplying him with enough Spanish cedar to make a casket/coffin for me that looks and smells like a humidor. When it's time I'll be buried with cigars, tobacco, and a little booze in a compostable cup.

Okay, I know I said I was cutting back but I saw a Vauen on ebay that really called to me. Made an offer and was accepted. Then saw another on this guys list, a vintage Sav panel billiard. Made offer and got it as well.along with reduced shipping. So 2 nice pipes for $90. What a deal. My xmas present to myself.

That's exactly why I try to stay off ePrey these days.
(I said 'try', but I don't often succeed) lol

Nice pipe! I have a Nording Freehand Signature that is a fine smoker.

Jeez, I gotta stay off ebay. Trolling yesterday and saw a couple of nice estate Petes. Said to myself, self, you do not need more pipes and clicked off if them. Then BOTH sellers responded with discount offers. They were buy it now, not bid items. So long story short wound up with a nice silver banded bent pot from the 70s for $60 and a straight billiard silver band with military mount for $50. That's it. No more for this year at least, lol.
