Altinok vs Altinay
You're right. We are aware that we are very late in starting online retail sales and opening to the USA market. Between 1964 and 2015, we only worked wholesale for Europe and China. In this process, besides our own brand ALTINAY, we produced meerschaum pipes of world brands such as Dunhill...- Said.ALTINAY

March Meerschaum Madness - Let the Madness Begin!

You can see about 500 pipes with colored stems by adding this " /shop/?filter_stem=colored " at the end of my site link. (I can't share a link to avoid being banned) Or you can filter on my site by Pipe Finder...- Said.ALTINAY

In fact, there is information about re-waxing in many sources on the internet, I think I even read it in this forum too. re-waxing ensures that the tar and oils trapped between the pores of the block are homogeneously dispersed and defined. However, misapplication can also render the pipe...- Said.ALTINAY

Waxed Vs unwaxed Meerschaums
If it was not special request meerschaum pipes are never sold unwaxed. (I've never met anyone who made such a request.)
