Nording Compass Pipes

Good for short smoke

I’ve been smoking the silver Compass pipe for a few weeks now, and I like it so much I’m getting the brown rustic pipe, even though I do not need another pipe. Reason - it smokes cool and dry, takes apart in 3 pieces that can easily be stowed away in a pack, luggage, etc. without being broken. It is without a doubt the easiest pipe to clean I have ever had. Take out the aluminum stem and 1/2” of pipe cleaner will clean the opening in the base of the bowl, the same cleaner can take care of the inside of the stem, and the mouth piece. For some reason after smoking a number of times the inside of the stem and mouthpiece doesn’t even need cleaning. After smoking 8 or 10 times the pipe cleaner comes out looking almost unused. My pipes with brier stems would look like that after only 3 or 4 bowls. No gurgle. I would like a slightly bigger inside bowl diameter, but that is not a deal breaker for me. Honestly, I think it is the best pipe I have ever smoked, and I have a lot of expensive pipes to compare it to. Looking forward to another Compass. Oh, the pipe is also super light, a pleasure to hold in your teeth. Thank you Erik Nording for thinking outside the humidor!

Great pipe!

It’s pretty good , not as good as I would have expected. Smallish.

Nice minimalist smoker! Good for travel or home. Great price!

Its easy to keep clean even though its a straight stem. The bowl size is perfect for tightly packed surface fills. The bright colors help me find it, when I set it down. Unlike the tools that I set down, or the nuts and bolts I cant find, when I just had them 2 minutes ago.

I love this pipe for talking walks...super light and love the option to turn it into a churchwarden!

Nice slim pipe, well built a good smoker. Stem and bowl get too hot or comfort, needs better insulation.

A very durable, nice-looking pipe with a very clean draw, quite reasonably priced. It's easy to clean and light-weight (I smoke it while I walk to and from work, so weight is a serious consideration.) Overall, an excellent value for money. Not only would I buy it again, I did.

Lightweight, easy to clean, great pipe!

Great little poker.

Great Pipe, great price. I love these pipes (I have a number as my daily workhorses) because they work great and are easy to clean. The bowls get a little hotter than most full briars, but that has more to do with poor puff discipline than anything else. I will likely buy more.

Love my new Nording Compass pipe! Would definitely purchase another one!

I enjoy this pipe so much that I bought another for my truck. Lightweight, easy to clean and smokes well! What's not to like?

Straight out of the box, the Compass smoked great. I was nervous that the aluminum shank would distill liquid out of the smoke and lead to a wet smoke, but it’s never been an issue. It smokes dry and cool, and is marvelously light — lighter than a Crown Featherweight I own with a bowl smaller and than the Nording’s, in fact. If there is a better pipe for clenching while one’s hands are otherwise engaged, I can’t name it. It’s only drawback is that the bowl-to-shank fit is a little loose; Twice now the bowl has taken flight on me while I’m knocking the rim on my palm. It’s accrued a bit of cosmetic damage, but it’s not exactly an investment-grade pipe so I don’t mind a few battle scars. I’m a corrections officer by trade, and this pipe has my colleagues calling me Popeye the Jailor Man. And you know what? I like it.

Easy to maintain, good draft, comfortable to smoke

Love it. Bought my Roma churchwarden from here as well. They both smoke well. Very happy with this purchase.

Awesome little pipe! I didnt have high expectations at first. I mostly just liked the look of it. But I loaded up some Albert and it smoked very good!

Is it hyperbole to say this is simply the best pipe I've ever owned? I'm going to risk it. This pipe is, hands down, my favorite. It's simple, attractive, affordable, and functional. The bit is tough enough to stand up to teeth clenching, but it's soft enough to hold comfortably for long periods. It's easy to clean, lightweight, and never fails to turn heads, and folks occasionally tell me "I never knew pipes could look like that!" Well they can and they do. And it's the best pipe I've ever owned. (I actually bought them in four colors.) It's the first pipe that really feels like "my" style of pipe, if that makes any sense. I suppose I should talk about how it smokes: also fantastically. Burns evenly, good draw. No complaints whatsoever. Just get one and you'll see!

I'm not gonna lie: this might be the best pipe I've ever smoked. Functionally, it's great: holds just the right amount of tobacco (I don't enjoy excessively long smokes). The weight is light enough that I can keep it clenched in my teeth while I work around the house, and the stem is the perfect length. Aesthetically, it's a beautiful pipe. (Though I realize that's subjective.) Pricewise: it's an affordable pipe for any budget. The Nording Compass is literally everything I ever wanted in a pipe!

I like trying new things and I have tried and really this little pipe its delivers a really good smoke and its size and weight makes for a great driving around town pipe,I highly recommend this little jewel. J.Smith

Fun pipe. Relatively small bowl, but within the normal range. I like how it kind of looks like a cob but is actually a briar pipe without a shank. It smoked fine, and I like how it looks. Good enough for me!
