Baki vs. Tekin

[drunkblowhard]

I think I'm ready to pull the trigger on my first meerschaum pipe and I have it narrowed down to two carvers. Baki and Tekin.
Anyone care to offer their two cents on which I should go with and why?
Anyone out there own pipes from both and could be kind enough to offer a comparison?
Thanks!

I have a few Bakis and Tekins.

The biggest difference is in button thickness (Baki makes thinner and better), engineering (Baki a bit better) and size of pipes (I prefer smaller Tekin). I hope I helped

I just received my new pipe today made or I should say carved by Tekin. It is a Floral Churchwarden, really a piece of art. A wonderful Christmas present. :puffpipe: :puffpipe:
