Nording Pipes When he was born and growing up in Copenhagen, few would have expected Erik Nording to become one of the most prolific and best known pipe makers in the world. He studied engineering and seemed destined to take over his father's shop, specializing in custom made knives. Before long though, Erik discovered that his true passion lay in working with briar rather than steel and metals. It wasn't long before he was making pipes as his profession, and he's never looked back. During the last 40 years Erik Nørding has built up his business, which today produces approximately 50.000 pipes a year, 90% of which are for the export market. Always a bit of a non-comformist, Erik specializes in freehands, preferring to let the wood decide for itself what shape it should take rather than forcing it to the classical shapes. Though he employs a number of artisans in his workshop and has designed and built several pieces of specialized machinery to streamline the pipe making process, all of his pipes are still essentially hand made. Long considered to be one of the best values in pipes, try a Nording for yourself and experience the pleasure of smoking one of the finest and most affordable Danish hand made pipes.
