    Your Favorite Meerschaum Pipe Makers?

    @shane1 I thought you were talking about our screw push pull system. Attached pipe has our 9mm filtered tenon sytem which we no longer use as a screwed sytem. Now we fix this part to the shank without the narrow screw part on the head. By the way your pipe has 9mm screwed push pull system. And...

    Your Favorite Meerschaum Pipe Makers?

    @shane1 thank you for your criticism. We use screw tenon system on only our affordable entry-level small pipes. In fact, the way it works is the same as the push pull system system. But sure briar style push pull sytem that we use in our middle and upper segment pipes is more useful and...

    Translucent Meerschaum

    Dear Gentlemens, You're right, translucent block, a name unheard of before. Because the translucen block becomes discernible once it is finished. Even not noticed if attention is not paid. It comes out quite rarely anyway. However, since meerschaum masters usually do not smoke pipes, they have...

    Problem With My Altinay Meer

    Hello @kg.legat0 I'm sorry you encountered such a problem. As you know meerschaum is a natural material and can contain natural imperfections like briar(pits). This pit one of them and we had probably overlooked after waxed because of filled with wax. And as the wax melted while smoking, the...

    Any Opinions on Okoume vs Gourd Calabash?

    Hello @brian64 Okoume is alternative cheaper material to gourd as its lightness and absorbency. Gourd and okoume calabashes are functionally same. @sandollars this caution relates to the dust generated when carving&sanding the okoume. In a finished pipe, the user is not exposed to the mentioned...

    Repairing a Meer Screw-In Tenon?

    @goldenmole You're welcome. Yes spigot systems more durable about removing stem while smoking. But however, we do not recommend if the pipe is too hot. I have a suggestion if you prefer to fix this by yourself; cut the screwed part of teflon tenon. So you will get 9mm tube. And fix it to the...

    Repairing a Meer Screw-In Tenon?

    Hello @goldenmole, Sorry for your problem. Although rarely, removing the mouthpiece after smoking while the pipe is hot and humid can cause this. No worry. If you send us we fix it. Have a nice day..
