Site didnt load for me all the way but for $ 300, I think I'd get a Baki.

Personally, if I were going to spend $300 on a meerschaum, I'd get a Baki also.

I didn't mean to sound snippy, btw. I was on my tablet and I'm not fond of typing on it unless I've got my bluetooth keyboard.
The main reason why I suggested a Baki is that the pipe you linked, looked like a $100 dollar pipe due to the lack of accents & signature, generic stem, and IMO poor carving. I didn't think it should have been near the $300 mark.
I'm not a meer expert (or any expert for that matter) but I know when I've looked at them I've seen and heard fantastic things about Baki's engineering and track record. Same goes for IMP meers and more recently the Meers that Meerqueen on the left offers.
It just seems to me you could get a WHOLE lot more pipe for $300 from any of them.

I concur with jah76 and jerry. Baki would be my preference at that price. I’m not familiar with that site, and it appears to have a large selection at various price ranges, but imo you could find a better meer than the one you posted for less than $300.

We can carve that exact pipe at half of its price
