    Baki Meerschaums Distributor

    I am not endorsing this business, but I sure do endorse Baki Meerschaums. Deniz Ural, who was the distributor for many years, no longer sells them. Which, in my opinion, is too bad - I always had very positive experiences buying Baki pipes from Deniz. Now, Baki hooked up with a Chinese...

    Any Guitar Players Amongst Us? I'd Like Your Opinion.

    I’ve been playing and collecting (though in recent years, mostly selling) guitars for 50 years. The guitar has to feel good to you. There are many different body styles, neck widths, weights, etc. So, it’s a good idea to go to a store that has a lot of guitars with someone you know who can...

    You Folks Smoking 6+ Bowls a Day

    Usually two bowls a day, one in the morning, one in the late afternoon. I have four meers that I rotate for morning smoking, all about the same size; and six meers of different sizes that I rotate in the afternoon. This has been the protocol for years.

    Fred Bass Meerschaum Arrived!

    Fred’s articles, and extensive writings on the “All Things Meerscham” group (SmokersForum.co.uk), were so educational and passionate. I know he was working on a book before he passed, which so many meerschaum lovers were looking forward to. I loved corresponding with him, and he is most...

    Best Meerschaum Pipe Resources.

    Meerschaums crafted by Mr. Baki (in my opinion) are consistently excellent. Used ones pop up on EBay from time to time. The ones from Fred’s collection aren’t inexpensive, but worth considering. Again, just my opinion.

    What Meerschaum To Buy First?

    Every meerschaum is unique. I’ve had some “name” meers that weren’t so great, and some “budget” meers that were awesome. In my experience, the most consistently superior meerschaums were the ones crafted by Mr. Baki.

    Ismet Bekler....
