Erik Nording did not come into the tobacco pipe making business in a traditional way. After losing his father at a young age, Nording went to school to become a blacksmith and engineer. This schooling was to eventually take over his father's razor blade and garden tool factory. It was that engineering that brought him to the pipe world.
Nording turned a bad business deal into a pipe making success story in the mid-1960s. After building a pipe making machine and struggling to get paid for it, he entered a partnership with a Copenhagen pipe repairer who would also teach Nording how to make new pipes. After a falling out with his teacher, Nording was left alone to improve and grow a business. It took some time, but Nording relied on his blacksmithing skills to take his smoking pipes to the next level.
Today, Nording pipes are the best-known smoking pipes out of Denmark.
For nearly 50 years, Nording pipes have been collectible, original, and interesting pieces in any smoking enthusiast's collection.
