My new meerschaum

[kaan]

Today i recieved my first meerschaum pipe from AMP meerschaum. It has an uneven lip but i believe other specs are fine. I hope you like it,

Great piece! May it be the first step towards a mighty Meerschaum addiction!

Thank you very much sir. One of my hobbies is playing guitar and i hate the ones been made relic in the factory and i would like to make it a relic but this pipe looked so good to me and couldn't help myself buying it. As i am living in Turkey, i believe i can make good additions to my collection.

Excepting the color, it is a grand looking pipe. Very nicely proportioned.

I really really like that shape..

How would that have been colored? I think I'd have preferred to start with natural white, and let the natural coloring begin. But it's a beauty as is.

A dark ambery or reddish stem would have been perfect on this pipe. Maybe i'll ask Mr. Altinok if he can do it for me. What do you guys think about it?

 

[stanlaurel]

That's beautiful! What are the dimensions?

That's a beautiful pipe. I even like the coloring. I'm sure they'd be able to cut an extra stem for you if you're willing to pay for the extra stem

Totally agree with Warren. Congrats mate.

Thank you all sirs. I am happy that you liked the one. So what do you think about this type of mouthpiece. Military stem and no tenon. I especially bought this type because i wanted to have the experience. But i don't know much about it's smoking characteristics.
I haven't smoked it yet by the way. Maybe tomorrow.

It flows like water. So easy to smoke. I loved this military thing!!

My but that's lovely! Hope you can get your Amber colored stem made, I think your right on about it being perfect. I can imagine a pipe like this in the 19th century being stemmed with real Amber.
