As an early Christmas present to myself, I am going to buy a new meer however at this point I am torn between buying another IMP, a Tekin or a Huseyin Cor pipe. Looking for a pipe that will provide a 30-40 min smoke and be adapted for 9mm filters, like a lot of IMPs are. I have an IMP and it's one of my favorite smokers but I would love to hear you inputs to help me decide!
Decision on New Meerschaum

Good point. I’ll add that to the OP but I’m looking for something that will be a 30-40 min smoke and probably a 9mm pipe. I haven’t seen a lot of those from Tekin..
Yup, neither have I which is what is making me lean down the H. Cor/IMP path
I love my Tekin pipes, and my H. Cor pipe, and some day plan on buying an IMP. I've never seen a 9mm Tekin, and though I'm sure he could carve one, the IMP or H. Cor choice may be a better option as you already noted. Good luck with your decision.
I thought Tekin worked under/for IMP?
Either way, I am a big fan of his pipes. Very thin and comfortable stems but be careful if your a biter!
Another name to consider is Altinay, he makes some gorgeous pipes (on the smaller side).

IMP is the Servi family. Tekin is an independent artisan that is often distributed by AKB.
