    16cm long, chamber is 1.8cm, thats me using a ruler stick.. number 25 is stamped on the under shank. and on the box. That might be the shape number? Made in Tanganyika. For the difference of African vs. Turkish meer, I'll leave that to Fred for an expert answer. But generaly I think that African...

    Made in America

    4rth of July and I got a rant. Not good, I know. I always try to buy American on what I have a choice though I live abroad. If it was not for customs fees, availablity etc. I would be collecting and smoking some American made pipes too. Well, my rant goes like this, I'm off for my two week shift...
