Hi Everyone From İstanbul/Türkiye
Time has progressed a bit strangely for me :) Well, of course. I played the guitar for about nine years and received vocal training for six years (private lessons from Licinio Montefusco's student). I'm a dramatic tenor, but I didn't pursue opera singing (it wasn't quite feasible in Turkey, and...- ThePiperBadik

Maybe Help Bites - Tongue Bite, Technical Issues, and Chat
I recently started a YouTube channel. I'm aware that there's much more content available in English, but I noticed there's a lack of a meticulous and high-quality channel like this in Turkey. That's why I'm creating content in Turkish. However, I'm diligently editing all the subtitles to enable...- ThePiperBadik

Quitting Cigarettes and Smoking a Pipe Instead
Admit it: they're all harmful. I usually work at the computer, and before I got into pipes, I smoked at least 2, on average 3 packs of cigarettes a day. Now that I've shifted my focus to pipes, I smoke a maximum of 10-15 cigarettes a day. What I've noticed in the transition from cigarettes to...- ThePiperBadik

Hi Everyone From İstanbul/Türkiye
They're very beautiful. However, it never really piqued my interest until now. I suppose if one day I decide I'm not just a pipe smoker but a pipe collector, I might consider getting one.- ThePiperBadik

Hi Everyone From İstanbul/Türkiye
https://www.etsy.com/shop/VitaLuxeDesign Of course. It's still quite new, only a few months old. Because of this, I had to learn photography and how to use Photoshop. I'm entirely on my own :D Halloween is coming, so I've organized the store and offered a strong discount for it. Sales are...- ThePiperBadik

Hi Everyone From İstanbul/Türkiye
Hagia Sophia used to be a museum, but they converted it into a mosque. So now, we can't see many of the important things in Hagia Sophia anymore. (Bullshit) However, the Topkapi Palace is a magnificent museum and its texture is still preserved. I hope one day you can visit these places. In Balat...- ThePiperBadik

Hi Everyone From İstanbul/Türkiye
I'm really glad! It seems like there's still some time, but I'll definitely keep it in mind and reach out to you. I know the best places for Turkish coffee and Turkish delight :D- ThePiperBadik

Hi Everyone From İstanbul/Türkiye
To be honest, I've never really been interested in Meerschaum pipes. So, unfortunately, I don't know any expert in this field.- ThePiperBadik

Hi Everyone From İstanbul/Türkiye
You're welcome, my neighbor. My family has been here for five generations, and I really love this place. There are a lot of people, and the traffic is heavy, but I still love it.- ThePiperBadik

Does Anyone Know What This Is?
This pipe was found at home. It has 'DB' written on it and No: K6507. I couldn't find anything about it on the internet. I'm not even sure if it's made of briar. There's a significant crack in the bowl and the air hole is a disaster :D- ThePiperBadik

Holder for 8 or 12 Pipes - Handmade
When my pipe collection started growing and I got back into piping (recently), I really felt the need for this. However, a stand I wanted was the price of a good pipe, or almost two. Years ago, I bought a keychain that could hold things on it. And one morning it caught my eye. I thought, 'This...- ThePiperBadik

The briar is of quite high quality. In fact, I can say it distributes heat very well even without a cake layer.- ThePiperBadik

Thats Amazing Gift - Punto Oro Classic 602
Hello Everyone, I recently got an amazing gift. A 'Punto Oro Classic 602'. I actually think it's a pipe way above my skill level. The process of forming a cake layer is quite delicate and nerve-wracking :D I guess my pace is still fast, and I often let it cool down.- ThePiperBadik

Hi Everyone From İstanbul/Türkiye
That would actually be amazing. All the tobaccos in the picture are local. There's a bit more in the bag at the back. They're produced as boutique, and I haven't really felt a significant difference in quality compared to the more well-known tobaccos I've tried. Flakes can sometimes be broken...- ThePiperBadik

Hi Everyone From İstanbul/Türkiye
An old tobacco. Unfortunately, it's no longer in production. There was also a tobacco produced in Turkey called 'Yayladağ'. We haven't been able to find it for the past 3-4 years. I really used to enjoy these!- ThePiperBadik

It smells exactly like smoked meat. Quite intense. The presence of Latakia is inevitable. And thank you. I've received a fantastic welcome.- ThePiperBadik

Hi Everyone From İstanbul/Türkiye
In Turkey, this is quite challenging. Turkey doesn't allow the import of pipe tobacco. (I don't know why, it's quite absurd. Probably because it's not a large market.) You can get it during international travels. And we have one or two local producers. I can say they are quite successful...- ThePiperBadik
