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!

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..
I don't think I've ever seen a filtered Tekin.

I have never had a pipe from any of the makers other than Tekin. I am satisfied with the two that I own from him and wouldn't hesitate to purchase another one of his pipes. I think he sells some of the more affordable 'premium' grade meerschaums.

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).
