Decided to pull the trigger on a small ChurchWarden Meerschaum

[shikano53]

I wanted to get myself a small style Churchwarden Meerschaum and went with one from Altinok.

It's just a plain, smooth Meerschaum, nothing fancy but it smokes nice.
The longer stem lets me read a little easier.

Ooh!
Elegant and beautiful. I love the simplicity and the amber stem piece.
I also love your taste in books. Somehow, without really trying, I managed to acquire hardback, paperback, leather-bound and electronic versions of the series.
Anyway, beautiful pipe.
Now I want one...

Rob,

Thank you for your kind words.

The hard cover books were a Christmas present from my wife a few years back.

I had worn out the paper back set I had.

If you don't mind me asking how much did it set you back?

Beautiful looking pipe. Congratulations on the new acquisition!

It was $179.95 USD. I don't know if that is good, bad or ugly.

I paid for priority express international shipping as well which was $49.00 USD
I was just a bit concerned with regular shipping coming from Turkey.

It was here in 5 business days.
