New Tekin Added To The Stable

[dottlejockey]

I've been perusing over some meers for the last couple weeks and saw a few that i liked. Dickered on some and settled on this Tekin Lattice Pear W/ Silver Ferule for a price i'm happy to pay.







6" L x 2.2" H x 1.6" W
.75" bowl diameter
1.7" bowl depth
Acrylic stem
Delrin fittings

It's on the way and i'm much looking forward to making its acquaintance!

Nice pipe, looks like a pipe cleaner should flow in that piece. For me, I wouldn't buy a piece on line with much more of a bend. Just for the reason I want a cleaner to go all the way to the bottom of the bowl without taking the pipe apart. It's been my experience that most bent meers ,with full bends don't take pipe cleaners all the way without taking them apart. YMMV

Great looking Tekin

Any plans for first smoke?

All that's left is to pack it with tobacco and light her up!!

I wholeheartedly agree. I don't even buy full bent pipes anymore for this reason alone. I like an ez cleaning pipe, too!

Not sure yet. I'll have to hold it, oogle it a little and gaze into it like a crystal ball...
Also, mood at the moment might have something to do with it. :P

I've always thought that most Meerschaum carvers were extraordinary carving artists, but not great pipe makers.

Truer with some than others. I've only had internal engineering issues with a few of meers in the past. 2 of them were Yaniks, which looked amazing, but were promptly resold. No issues at all with IMP, Cinar, Fatih, Fikri Baki, even Sultan, CLB or Dulger, etc.

Mostly Yanik. Kenan, Ali, Tekin, Mehmet, and many others excel at both. Baki made a pretty pipe but the airways were really restricted.

Nice pipe. I hope it brings you many happy smokes.

I've only had one from Fikri, but never had a problem with the airway in this one. Perhaps your experience is more extensive, so i certainly speak from a very limited sample...which i've always loved.
