Hello hive mind. I am new to this forum, although I have had a fascination about tobacco pipes and have smoked off and on for 20 some years. Fell out of the habit a few times, but am back to blowing smoke rings. Finally purchased my first meerschaum from Paykoc and couldn’t be happier with the smoke. My first meerschaum broke, and Altan Paykoc quickly answered my email and replaced it with one even more handsome in its carving. They have earned a lifelong patron from their great product and better customer service. Picture shows my meer taking on it’s color, notebook paper behind to show difference of the white it was to the off white it has become. This is my first post, but have came here for advice many times. Thank you all. And have a great day.
