That's a gorgeous piece of meerschaum!.............. Here's to many good smokes!............
Keep us filled in on the coloring!

It's acrylic but the workmanship rivals Jack Howell's which is about as good as it gets for me.
It seems kevin had the same...Um..idea?I would hesitate to offer reviews, being afraid increased demand would cause the prices to increase.
So it’s not the little plastic fitting? If you can I’d love to see a pic of the tenon.Straight up push pull tenon, seems quite solid.
Beautiful pipe, Hoosier!!Received my first Altinay today. Less than a week from Turkey. The photos didn't do it justice. Workmanship is flawless. Symmetry in the carved design is superb. Mr Altinay drilled the draft to 4 mm for me, passes a pipe cleaner effortlessly. The pipe is incredibly light, balance is perfect. I was pleasant surprised by the stem work, thin and wide. Perfect clencher. Capstan Blue was chosen for the maiden voyage. Excellent smoking pipe, very neutral
I love the IMP I've been smoking for a month but my initial impression is the Altinay may be slightly better. I'll be buying more from this Carver.

Congrats...beautiful meer.
I picked up my first Altinay a few months ago I guess it was, and have been very impressed with it.
I just ordered these two in the last week or so...first one arrived today...has the same type of tenon as the previous pipe...these are the first meers I've had with this configuration...very open draw.

Hello @Casual ,Unless you’re in a place that DHL thinks is too remote, then it’s $22 extra. Just because they don’t like to canoe that last kilometre to the doorstep. Sheesh.
I like his silver work and especially the army mounts and spigots. The smooth finishes come up on the site, but they get snapped up quickly.
