Finally Got a Claw...Yanik of Course

[brian64]

I've seen claw meers everywhere for years, but I've never got one because the vast majority of them all look pretty much the same to me.

This one just wouldn't let me go though, so I gave in.

Fingers crossed for no chips or breaks during transit.

Nobody carves a better-looking meer than Yanik.

 

[LotusEater]

Excellent choice!

 

[kcghost]

Looks like you got a good one!!

 

[dottlejockey]

His carving skill is second to none. Now for the real test: let us know how it smokes!

 

[FurCoat]

Wow. I'm jealous.

 

[Roach1]

Looks great.

 

[shanez]

That is a heckuva claw!

I ordered a pipe from Yanik, and it came extremely well packed, so unless USPS throws it off the truck and stomps on it, it should be ok. Of course I know that's asking a lot. LOL

That's a great looking claw. I hope it smokes well for you, and provide you many great smokes!

 

[hoosierpipeguy]

That pipe is outstanding!

 

[Tbaggins]

Great looking pipe congrats! Hope to see some more pics when you get it.

it came extremely well packed,

My nude flower maiden and owl did as well. Both had pieces broken off of them. I'll not buy another.

Dang, that's a bummer. I know I was worried when I ordered it as it was coming from Turkey, and that's a long way for a meerschaum to travel, but thankfully it was all good. I was glad to see it was well packaged. I unfortunately broke it myself later on, but I was able to save it and I still smoke it.

Yanik makes some of the most beautiful pipes from the finish to the details. I would be scared to smoke his pipes though

 

[DesertDan]

Oh My!
That is one gorgeous pipe!
Congrats!
