I just got an email from Yavuz with my tracking number. It is currently in Paris. I can't wait to get it. It's a PM 2012 Forum Pipe. The cherrywood with the white stem to be specific. On the side of the shank where nothing is written, I had him carve MOD on it. I thought it was rather fitting to have my forum pipe say MOD considering I am a mod. Now comes the question of what to smoke in it first. I have the following unopened tins: Old Dark Fired(bought in September 2012), Frog Morton's Cellar(also bought in September 2012 ), and Balkan Sasieni (bought in January of 2011). As for jarred baccy, I'm considering Penzance, Escudo, Frog Morton On The Bayou, and Spartans English. I also have a small packet of Macbarren's Scottish Mixture from 1985.

An update on shipping. This is some damn fast shipping. The pipe was shipped on Friday from Istanbul, and is already in Memphis Tennessee. Tomorrow it will be at my post office, which is in the thumb of Michigan. This is international shipping. I've had things shipped from inside America that weren't even that fast.

I received mine just recently, and it was well worth the wait. Outstanding!

Congrats! I'm sure you will love it.

As for what to smoke in it, I would vote for the Scottish Mixture. With the age it has on it, it should be great.

I just got it a little bit ago. Yavuz was also kind enough to throw in two mini meers! One is an eagles head, the other an indians head. I haven't been able to smoke it yet, but I plan to after lunch.
Here is the cutsom carving I had done:

Here is the whole pipe:

Well I just finished my first smoke. I decided to have my virgin smoke with some MacBarren Scottish Mixture from 1985. I only smoked a half bowl because the bowl is rather large, and didn't feel like having too long of a smoke. Now, on to the smoke. It was a cool and flavorful the whole way through. I really got a lot of flavor from the tobacco. There were no gurgles, and there was no moisture at the bottom. No relights, just the charring and true light. It's one hell of a smoking utensil, it definitely won't be my last Storient. It was well worth the wait.

I just tried the indian mini meer. Pretty good for how small it is. It can get hot fast if you aren't careful. It should color pretty fast since it's a small piece of meerschaum.
