Any experience with a Nording Erikson Keystone Pipe?

Most of the pipers I have talked to don't like them I use the pebbles in the non filtered pipes I smoke and really like them.

I too like the pebbles in a couple of pipes that tend to form damp dottle, but have no interest in the Specific Nording.

...be sure to give us a review after you spend some time with it...

I actually received one as a gift from a fellow pipe club member. Nothing special. Somewhat like a Falcon and many other historical brands. Frank (St Valentine) posted one old similar pipe somewhere on this forum, but I'm too lazy to search for the post now. Anyhow, it's a cool smoker and due to the draught hole right at the bottom of the removable briar bowl it smokes most tobaccos right down to ash, no dottle. I mainly use mine for Latakia blends.

Coolest things about these pipes are the price and the fact that you can chuck them in the dishwasher for a thorough clean after removing the briar bowl and clay pellets

You see, there is really nothing new under the sun.

I received my Nording Eriksen Keystone pipes and have smoked four bowls so far. The pipe does smoke cool and dry. No gurgle whatsoever. The tobacco burns to the bottom of the bowl with no wet dottle. The stones turn brown/black from the absorption of moisture & tar and could probably go 4-5 bowls before changing. I used 8 stones as other users state is sufficient. The taste was not altered in my opinion and did not detect any plastic taste from the body of the pipe. The shape is more Canadian than Billiard and very lightweight. The pipe cleaner came out dry except for light condensation all the way in near the draft hole. I am very pleased and can see how the keystones can help in a non system pipe to cool the smoke, absorb moisture and help burn all the tobacco if the hole is drilled too high. Forgive me for all the photos but wanted to show as much as possible. Thanks😊😊

I also picked up a Nording "Shorty" Keystone pipe. It uses a porcelain bowl and gives about a 10 minute " short" smoke. I will use this pipe for quick smokes and tasting tobacco's due to the neutral tasting bowl.

Tobaccopipes.com, KingPipesandCigars in Minnesota and their eBay stores stock them. I don't know about the kitty litter but if it is volcanic clay then yes😊😄😄 truly haven't had a gurgle yet and they're cool smokers. They're also fun and different.

A small investment for a really nice pipe. Just a very short smoke.
