Description
The Nording Keystone Pipe:
Good for beginners;
Easy to fill, light up and smoke;
Is durable;
Requires little maintenance;
Leaves no lump of wet tobacco in the bottom of the bowl at the end of a smoke;
Is eye-catching;
Is affordable.
Good for pipe people who buy pipes for the smoking qualities of good briar, not necessarily (or only) for the aesthetics of fine grain, style, etc.
Almost a smoking machine – well-priced and offering a cool, dry smoke.
The base (mouthpiece, shank, and bowl chamber) is constructed of black high impact polycarbonate: difficult to break, easy to clean. The bowl chamber is well-proportioned at 17mm diameter and 32mm deep. It is filled with highly absorbent Keystones (natural tasteless volcanic clay pellets), ensuring a cool, dry, smoke, right down to the last shred of tobacco.
The quality briar bowl is fitted with a hard rubber gasket (O-ring) to ensure an airtight fit: no thread system which may wear out.
No leaking juices. Spare O-rings are available.
The Nording pipe is easy to clean:
After smoking let the pipe cool down, then empty any dry ash remnants, and the keystones (when necessary).
The briar bowl should be clean and dry – no further work normally needed.
Wash the base, using a pipe cleaner for the inside of shank and mouthpiece.
